Initialize msg/shm IPC objects before doing ipc_addid()
commit b9a53227 upstream. As reported by Dmitry Vyukov, we really shouldn't do ipc_addid() before having initialized the IPC object state. Yes, we initialize the IPC object in a locked state, but with all the lockless RCU lookup work, that IPC object lock no longer means that the state cannot be seen. We already did this for the IPC semaphore code (see commit e8577d1f: "ipc/sem.c: fully initialize sem_array before making it visible") but we clearly forgot about msg and shm.
