Commit 53dad6d3a8e5
("ipc: fix race with LSMs") updated ipc_rcu_putref() to receive
rcu freeing function but used generic ipc_rcu_free() instead
of msg_rcu_free() which does security cleaning.

Running LTP msgsnd06 with kmemleak gives the following:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

V2: Update description with original commit and cc stable
(Suggested by Manfred Spraul)

Ideally we would have the fix for sem.c in the same patch, under, ie:

"sysv, ipc: fix security-layer leaking"

Just like with shm and msg, the only caller of ipc_rcu_free() should be a
failed security allocation in newary().

Thanks,
Davidlohr
