    sysvipc: unteach ids->next_id for !CHECKPOINT_RESTORE · b8fd9983

    Patch series "sysvipc: ipc-key management improvements".
    
    Here are a few improvements I spotted while eyeballing Guillaume's
    rhashtable implementation for ipc keys.  The first and fourth patches
    are the interesting ones, the middle two are trivial.
    
    This patch (of 4):
    
    The next_id object-allocation functionality was introduced in commit
    03f59566 ("ipc: add sysctl to specify desired next object id").
    
    Given that these new entries are _only_ exported under the
    CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option, there is no point for the common case
    to even know about ->next_id.  As such rewrite ipc_buildid() such that
    it can do away with the field as well as unnecessary branches when
    adding a new identifier.  The end result also better differentiates both
    cases, so the code ends up being cleaner; albeit the small duplications
    regarding the default case.
