IPC/semaphores: move the rwmutex handling inside semctl_down
semctl_down is called with the rwmutex (the one which protects the list of ipcs) taken in write mode. This patch moves this rwmutex taken in write-mode inside semctl_down. This has the advantages of reducing a little bit the window during which this rwmutex is taken, clarifying sys_semctl, and finally of having a coherent behaviour with [shm|msg]ctl_down Signed-off-by: Pierre Peiffer <pierre.peiffer@bull.net> Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> Cc: Nadia Derbey <Nadia.Derbey@bull.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
