Davidlohr Bueso a5f4db8771 ipc/sem: make semctl setting sempid consistent
As indicated by bug#112271, Linux sets the sempid value upon semctl, and
not only for semop calls.  However, within semctl we only do this for
SETVAL, leaving SETALL without updating the field, and therefore rather
inconsistent behavior when compared to other Unices.

There is really no documentation regarding this and therefore users
should not make assumptions.  With this patch, along with updating
semctl.2 manpages, this scenario should become less ambiguous As such,
set sempid on SETALL cmd.

Also update some in-code documentation, specifying where the sempid is
set.

Passes ltp and custom testcase where a child (fork) does SETALL to the
set.
