ipc: optimize semget/shmget/msgget for lots of keys
ipc_findkey() used to scan all objects to look for the wanted key.  This
is slow when using a high number of keys.  This change adds an rhashtable
of kern_ipc_perm objects in ipc_ids, so that one lookup cease to be O(n).

This change gives a 865% improvement of benchmark reaim.jobs_per_min on a
56 threads Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2695 v3 @ 2.30GHz with 256G memory [1]

Other (more micro) benchmark results, by the author: On an i5 laptop, the
following loop executed right after a reboot took, without and with this
change:

    for (int i = 0, k=0x424242; i < KEYS; ++i)
        semget(k++, 1, IPC_CREAT | 0600);

                 total       total          max single  max single
   KEYS        without        with        call without   call with

      1            3.5         4.9   µs            3.5         4.9

 *: unreliable measure: high variance

The duration for a lookup-only usage was obtained by the same loop once
the keys are present:

                 total       total          max single  max single
   KEYS        without        with        call without   call with

    100           82.9        25.1   µs             *          2.3

Finally, executing each semget() in a new process gave, when still
summing only the durations of these syscalls:
