    sysv, ipc: fix security-layer leaking · 9b24fef9
    Fabian Frederick authored
    Commit 53dad6d3 ("ipc: fix race with LSMs") updated ipc_rcu_putref()
    to receive rcu freeing function but used generic ipc_rcu_free() instead
    of msg_rcu_free() which does security cleaning.
    
    Running LTP msgsnd06 with kmemleak gives the following:
    
      cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
    
      unreferenced object 0xffff88003c0a11f8 (size 8):
        comm "msgsnd06", pid 1645, jiffies 4294672526 (age 6.549s)
        hex dump (first 8 bytes):
          1b 00 00 00 01 00 00 00                          ........
        backtrace:

    Manfred Spraul suggested to fix sem.c as well and Davidlohr Bueso to
    only use ipc_rcu_free in case of security allocation failure in newary()
