sysvipc: unteach ids->next_id for !CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
Patch series "sysvipc: ipc-key management improvements". Here are a few improvements I spotted while eyeballing Guillaume's rhashtable implementation for ipc keys. The first and fourth patches are the interesting ones, the middle two are trivial. This patch (of 4): The next_id object-allocation functionality was introduced in commit 03f595668017 ("ipc: add sysctl to specify desired next object id"). Given that these new entries are _only_ exported under the CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option, there is no point for the common case to even know about ->next_id. As such rewrite ipc_buildid() such that it can do away with the field as well as unnecessary branches when adding a new identifier. The end result also better differentiates both cases, so the code ends up being cleaner; albeit the small duplications regarding the default case.
