Subject[10/11] ipc ns: fix memory leak (idr)
2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com>

commit 7d6feeb287c61aafa88f06345387b1188edf4b86 upstream.

We have apparently had a memory leak since
7ca7e564e049d8b350ec9d958ff25eaa24226352 "ipc: store ipcs into IDRs" in
2007. The idr of which 3 exist for each ipc namespace is never freed.

This patch simply frees them when the ipcns is freed. I don't believe any
idr_remove() are done from rcu (and could therefore be delayed until after
this idr_destroy()), so the patch should be safe. Some quick testing
showed no harm, and the memory leak fixed.

Caught by kmemleak.
