[PATCH 01/11] ipc,shm: introduce lockless functions to obtain the ipc object

[Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@hp.com>]

Add shm_obtain_object() and shm_obtain_object_check(), which will allow us
to get the ipc object without acquiring the lock. Just as with other forms
of ipc, these functions are basically wrappers around ipc_obtain_object*().
