ipc,sem: do not hold ipc lock more than necessary 



Instead of holding the ipc lock for permissions and security checks, among
others, only acquire it when necessary.

Some numbers....

1) With Rik's semop-multi.c microbenchmark we can see the following
   results:

Baseline (3.9-rc1):
cpus 4, threads: 256, semaphores: 128, test duration: 30 secs
total operations: 151452270, ops/sec 5048409

+  59.40%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] _raw_spin_lock
+   6.14%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] sys_semtimedop
+   3.84%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] avc_has_perm_flags
+   3.64%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __audit_syscall_exit
+   2.06%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string
+   1.86%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ipc_lock

With this patchset:
cpus 4, threads: 256, semaphores: 128, test duration: 30 secs
total operations: 273156400, ops/sec 9105213

+  18.54%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] _raw_spin_lock
+  11.72%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] sys_semtimedop
+   7.70%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ipc_has_perm.isra.21
+   6.58%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] avc_has_perm_flags
+   6.54%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __audit_syscall_exit
+   4.71%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ipc_obtain_object_check

2) While on an Oracle swingbench DSS (data mining) workload the
   improvements are not as exciting as with Rik's benchmark, we can see
   some positive numbers.  For an 8 socket machine the following are the
   percentages of %sys time incurred in the ipc lock:

Baseline (3.9-rc1):
100 swingbench users: 8,74%
400 swingbench users: 21,86%
800 swingbench users: 84,35%

With this patchset:
100 swingbench users: 8,11%
400 swingbench users: 19,93%
800 swingbench users: 77,69%
