Manfred Spraul 35cfc2b3a9 ipc/sem.c: fully initialize sem_array before making it visible ...

commit e8577d1f03 upstream.

ipc_addid() makes a new ipc identifier visible to everyone.  New objects
start as locked, so that the caller can complete the initialization
after the call.  Within struct sem_array, at least sma->sem_base and
sma->sem_nsems are accessed without any locks, therefore this approach
doesn't work.

Thus: Move the ipc_addid() to the end of the initialization.
