Subject: [PATCH 04/20] ipc: drop non-RCU allocation
Git-commit: f8dbe8d290637ac3f68600e30d092393fe9b40a5
Patch-mainline: v4.13-rc1
References: bsc#1050323

The only users of ipc_alloc() were ipc_rcu_alloc() and the on-heap
sem_io fall-back memory.  Better to just open-code these to make things
easier to read.

[manfred@colorfullife.com: Rediff due to inclusion of memset() into ipc_rcu_alloc()]
