[PATCH v2] ipc, mqueue: lazy call kern_mount_data in new namespaces

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

kern_mount_data is a relatively expensive operation when creating a
new IPC namespace, so delay the mount until its first usage when not
creating the the global namespace.

This is a net saving for new IPC namespaces that don't use mq_open().
In this case there won't be any kern_mount_data() cost at all.

On my machine, the time for creating 1000 new IPC namespaces dropped
from ~8s to ~2s.

v1 here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/27/427

v1 -> v2:

Declare and use a mutex instead of a spinlock.
