Vasily Averin bc8136a543 ipc: use kmalloc for msg_queue and shmid_kernel

msg_queue and shmid_kernel are quite small objects, no need to use
kvmalloc for them.  mhocko@: "Both of them are 256B on most 64b systems."

Previously these objects was allocated via ipc_alloc/ipc_rcu_alloc(),
common function for several ipc objects.  It had kvmalloc call inside().
Later, this function went away and was finally replaced by direct kvmalloc
call, and now we can use more suitable kmalloc/kfree for them.
