Subject: ipc,msg: shorten critical region in msgctl_down
From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@xxxxxx>
commit 15724ecb7e9bab35fc694c666ad563adba820cc3 upstream.
Instead of holding the ipc lock for the entire function, use the
ipcctl_pre_down_nolock and only acquire the lock for specific commands:
RMID and SET.
