ipc/sem.c: rewrite undo list locking
The attached patch: - reverses the locking order of ulp->lock and sem_lock: Previously, it was first ulp->lock, then inside sem_lock. Now it's the other way around. - converts the undo structure to rcu. Benefits: - With the old locking order, IPC_RMID could not kfree the undo structures. The stale entries remained in the linked lists and were released later. - The patch fixes a a race in semtimedop(): if both IPC_RMID and a semget() that recreates exactly the same id happen between find_alloc_undo() and sem_lock, then semtimedop() would access already kfree'd memory.
