[PATCH 4/6] ipc: get rid of ids->tables_initialized hack

[Davidlohr Bueso]

In sysvipc we have an ids->tables_initialized regarding the
rhashtable, introduced in:

    0cfb6aee70b (ipc: optimize semget/shmget/msgget for lots of keys).

It's there, specifically, to prevent nil pointer dereferences,
from using an uninitialized api. Considering how rhashtable_init()
can fail (probably due to ENOMEM, if anything), this made the
overall ipc initialization capable of failure as well. That alone
is ugly, but fine, however I've spotted a few issues regarding the
semantics of tables_initialized (however unlikely they may be):

- There is inconsistency in what we return to userspace: ipc_addid()
returns ENOSPC which is certainly _wrong_, while ipc_obtain_object_idr()
returns EINVAL.

- After we started using rhashtables, ipc_findkey() can return nil upon
!tables_initialized, but the caller expects nil for when the ipc structure
isn't found, and can therefore call into ipcget() callbacks.

Now that rhashtable initialization cannot fail, we can properly
get rid of the hack altogether.
