Subject: ipc,msg: introduce lockless functions to obtain the ipc object
From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@xxxxxx>
commit a5001a0d9768568de5d613c3b3a5b9c7721299da upstream.
Add msq_obtain_object() and msq_obtain_object_check(), which will allow
us to get the ipc object without acquiring the lock. Just as with
semaphores, these functions are basically wrappers around
ipc_obtain_object*().
