ipc: drop ipc_lock()
ipc/util.c contains multiple functions to get the ipc object pointer given
an id number.
There are two sets of function: One set verifies the sequence counter part
of the id number, other functions do not check the sequence counter.
The standard for function names in ipc/util.c is
- ..._check() functions verify the sequence counter
- ..._idr() functions do not verify the sequence counter
ipc_lock() is an exception: It does not verify the sequence counter value,
but this is not obvious from the function name.
Furthermore, shm.c is the only user of this helper. Thus, we can simply
move the logic into shm_lock() and get rid of the function altogether.
