ipc,sysv: return -EINVAL upon incorrect id/seqnum
In ipc_obtain_object_check we return -EIDRM when a bogus sequence number
is detected via ipc_checkid, while the ipc manpages state the following
return codes for such errors:
EIDRM <ID> points to a removed identifier.
EINVAL Invalid <ID> value, or unaligned, etc.
EIDRM should only be returned upon a RMID call (->deleted check), and thus
return EINVAL for wrong seq. This difference in semantics has also caused
real bugs, ie: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246509
