This fixes the various compiler warnings when building the msgque

Given that the selftest/ipc/ only consists of this test, I wonder if
the test should just be moved to ltp, where the ipc tests are a lot
more complete and robust -- and which I've been using for years for
basic testing code changes.


Having this test in here helps us find regressions quickly. It does good
and no harm keeping this test in here.

I don't think it is a good idea to remove it all together.
