[Fengguang Wu]

Hi Davidlohr,

We noticed LTP test failures

        ltp.msgget02.1.TFAIL
        ltp.semget02.2.TFAIL
        ltp.semget02.3.TFAIL

and the first bad commit is

commit 5769cf6355d87f63906b3e51887eff7017c39217

    ipc: share ids rwsem when possible in ipcget_public
    
    ...  and rewrite the function.  For scenarios where the key is found and
    we end up just doing different routinary checks, we can downgrade the
    ids->rwsem and share it among concurrent readers.  These checks include
    the following, which are all safe to share the lock:
    
    ops->more_checks() >>  sem_more_checks(), shm_more_checks()
    ipc_check_perms()  >>  ipcperms(),ops->associate() >> [lsm]_[ipctype]_associate()
