ipc/util.c: use binary search for max_idx
If semctl(), msgctl() and shmctl() are called with IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO, MSG_INFO or SHM_INFO, then the return value is the index of the highest used index in the kernel's internal array recording information about all SysV objects of the requested type for the current namespace. (This information can be used with repeated ..._STAT or ..._STAT_ANY operations to obtain information about all SysV objects on the system.) There is a cache for this value. But when the cache needs up be updated, then the highest used index is determined by looping over all possible values. With the introduction of IPCMNI_EXTEND_SHIFT, this could be a loop over 16 million entries. And due to /proc/sys/kernel/*next_id, the index values do not need to be consecutive. With <write 16000000 to msg_next_id>, msgget(), msgctl(,IPC_RMID) in a loop, I have observed a performance increase of around factor 13000. As there is no get_last() function for idr structures: Implement a "get_last()" using a binary search. As far as I see, ipc is the only user that needs get_last(), thus implement it in ipc/util.c and not in a central location.
