ipc: remove the ipc_get() routine
This is a trivial patch that removes the ipc_get() routine: it is replaced by a call to idr_find(). Signed-off-by: Nadia Derbey <Nadia.Derbey@bull.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

- * So far only shm_get_stat() calls ipc_get() via shm_get(), so ipc_get()
- * is called with shm_ids.mutex locked. Since grow_ary() is also called with
- * shm_ids.mutex down(for Shared Memory), there is no need to add read
- * barriers here to gurantee the writes in grow_ary() are seen in order
- * here (for Alpha).
- *
- * However ipc_get() itself does not necessary require ipc_ids.mutex down. So
- * if in the future ipc_get() is used by other places without ipc_ids.mutex
- * down, then ipc_get() needs read memery barriers as ipc_lock() does.
