ipc/sem.c: remove sem_base, embed struct sem

sma->sem_base is initialized with

	sma->sem_base = (struct sem *) &sma[1];

The current code has four problems:
 - There is an unnecessary pointer dereference - sem_base is not needed.
 - Alignment for struct sem only works by chance.
 - The current code causes false positive for static code analysis.
 - This is a cast between different non-void types, which the future
   randstruct GCC plugin warns on.

And, as bonus, the code size gets smaller:

  Before:
    0 .text         00003770
  After:
    0 .text         0000374e
