[PATCH 2/2] ipc,namespace: batch free ipc_namespace structures

[Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Instead of waiting for an RCU grace period between each ipc_namespace
structure that is being freed, wait an RCU grace period for every batch
of ipc_namespace structures.

Thanks to Al Viro for the suggestion of the helper function.

This speeds up the run time of the test case that allocates ipc_namespaces
in a loop from 6 minutes, to a little over 1 second:

real	0m1.192s
user	0m0.038s
sys	0m1.152s
