sysvipc: make get_maxid O(1) again
For a custom microbenchmark on a 3.30GHz Xeon SandyBridge, which calls IPC_STAT over and over, it was calculated that, on avg the cost of ipc_get_maxid() for increasing amounts of keys was: 10 keys: ~900 cycles 100 keys: ~15000 cycles 1000 keys: ~150000 cycles 10000 keys: ~2100000 cycles This is unsurprising as maxid is currently O(n). By having the max_id available in O(1) we save all those cycles for each semctl(_STAT) command, the idr_find can be expensive -- which some real (customer) workloads actually poll on. Note that this used to be the case, until commit 7ca7e564e04 ("ipc: store ipcs into IDRs"). The cost is the extra idr_find when doing RMIDs, but we simply go backwards, and should not take too many iterations to find the new value.
