With the use of idr to store the ipc, the case where the idr cache is
empty, when idr_get_new is called (this may happen even if we call
idr_pre_get() before), is not well handled: it lets semget()/shmget()/msgget()
return ENOSPC when this cache is empty, what 1. does not reflect the facts
and 2. does not conform to the man(s).
This patch fixes this by retrying the whole process of allocation in this case.
Note: we could directly return ENOMEM if idr_pre_get() fails, but it does not
mean that the cache is empty...
This patch applies on top of 2.6.23-rc8-mm2 and should probably be merged
in 2.6.24 if Nadia's patches are included.

Pierre,
I agree with everythying, but not on idr_pre_get() failure: I think we
should give up in that case: the tests on idr_pre_get() return code
should remain IMHO (see after).

ops->getnew will call idr_get_new() that should not be called if
idr_pre_get() has failed. So I think that we should give up if
idr_pre_get() fails and the test on idr_pre_get() return code should not
be removed.

Same remark as above:
ops->getnew will call idr_get_new() that should not be called if
idr_pre_get() has failed. So I think that we should give up if
idr_pre_get() fails and this this test should not be removed.
