Hmmm sorry, I missed the comment on this one, it was picked
because it makes it easier to apply "ipc/sem.c: fix
complex_count vs. simple op race". This latter was picked
as-is from Jiri's 3.12 tree so I preferred to avoid modifying
it. I'll just mention it in the commit message.

Thanks for notifying me.

Willy
