ipc/sem: avoid idr tree lookup for interrupted semop
We can avoid the idr tree lookup (albeit possibly avoiding idr_find_fast()) when being awoken in EINTR, as the semid will not change in this context while blocked. Use the sma pointer directly and take the sem_lock, then re-check for RMID races. We continue to re-check the queue.status with the lock held such that we can detect situations where we where are dealing with a spurious wakeup but another task that holds the sem_lock updated the queue.status while we were spinning for it. Once we take the lock it obviously won't change again. Being the only caller, get rid of sem_obtain_lock() altogether.
