Subject: ipc/msg.c: avoid ipc_rcu_putref for failed ipc_addid()
Loosely based on a patch from Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
- id and retval can be merged
- if ipc_addid() fails, then use call_rcu() directly.
The difference is that call_rcu is used for failed ipc_addid() calls, to
continue to guaranteed an rcu delay for security_msg_queue_free().
