Manfred Spraul dba4cdd39e ipc: merge ipc_rcu and kern_ipc_perm
ipc has two management structures that exist for every id:
 - struct kern_ipc_perm, it contains e.g. the permissions.
 - struct ipc_rcu, it contains the rcu head for rcu handling and the
   refcount.

The patch merges both structures.

As a bonus, we may save one cacheline, because both structures are
cacheline aligned.  In addition, it reduces the number of casts, instead
most codepaths can use container_of.

To simplify code, the ipc_rcu_alloc initializes the allocation to 0.
