ipc,sysv: make return -EIDRM when racing with RMID consistent 

The ipc_lock helper is used by all forms of sysv ipc to acquire the ipc
object's spinlock.  Upon error (bogus identifier), we always return
-EINVAL, whether the problem be in the idr path or because we raced with a
task performing RMID.  For the later, however, all ipc related manpages,
state the that for:

       EIDRM  <ID> points to a removed identifier.

And return:

       EINVAL Invalid <ID> value, or unaligned, etc.

Which (EINVAL) should only return once the ipc resource is deleted.  For
all types of ipc this is done immediately upon a RMID command.  However,
shared memory behaves slightly different as it can merely mark a segment
for deletion, and delay the actual freeing until there are no more active
consumers.  Per shmctl(IPC_RMID) manpage:

""
Mark  the  segment to be destroyed.  The segment will only actually
be destroyed after the last process detaches it (i.e., when the
shm_nattch member of the associated structure shmid_ds is zero).
""

Unlike ipc_lock, paths that behave "correctly", at least per the manpage,
involve controlling the ipc resource via *ctl(), doing the exact same
validity check as ipc_lock after right acquiring the spinlock:

	if (!ipc_valid_object()) {
		err = -EIDRM;
		goto out_unlock;
	}

Thus make ipc_lock consistent with the rest of ipc code and return -EIDRM
in ipc_lock when !ipc_valid_object().
