Davidlohr Bueso b8fd998384 sysvipc: unteach ids->next_id for !CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
Patch series "sysvipc: ipc-key management improvements".

Here are a few improvements I spotted while eyeballing Guillaume's
rhashtable implementation for ipc keys.  The first and fourth patches
are the interesting ones, the middle two are trivial.

This patch (of 4):

The next_id object-allocation functionality was introduced in commit
03f5956680 ("ipc: add sysctl to specify desired next object id").

Given that these new entries are _only_ exported under the
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option, there is no point for the common case
to even know about ->next_id.  As such rewrite ipc_buildid() such that
it can do away with the field as well as unnecessary branches when
adding a new identifier.  The end result also better differentiates both
cases, so the code ends up being cleaner; albeit the small duplications
regarding the default case.
