Manfred Spraul 380af1b33b 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.
