Manfred Spraul 6e224f9459 ipc/sem.c: synchronize semop and semctl with IPC_RMID
After acquiring the semlock spinlock, operations must test that the
array is still valid.

 - semctl() and exit_sem() would walk stale linked lists (ugly, but
   should be ok: all lists are empty)

 - semtimedop() would sleep forever - and if woken up due to a signal -
   access memory after free.

The patch also:
 - standardizes the tests for .deleted, so that all tests in one
   function leave the function with the same approach.
 - unconditionally tests for .deleted immediately after every call to
   sem_lock - even it it means that for semctl(GETALL), .deleted will be
   tested twice.

Both changes make the review simpler: After every sem_lock, there must
be a test of .deleted, followed by a goto to the cleanup code (if the
function uses "goto cleanup").

The only exception is semctl_down(): If sem_ids().rwsem is locked, then
the presence in ids->ipcs_idr is equivalent to !.deleted, thus no
additional test is required.
