sysv,ipc: cacheline align kern_ipc_perm
Assign 'struct kern_ipc_perm' its own cacheline to avoid false sharing
with sysv ipc calls.
While the structure itself is rather read-mostly throughout the lifespan
of ipc, the spinlock causes most of the invalidations. One example is
commit 31a7c4746e9 ("ipc/sem.c: cacheline align the ipc spinlock for
semaphores"). Therefore, extend this to all ipc.
The effect of cacheline alignment on sems can be seen in sembench, which
deals mostly with semtimedop wait/wakes is seen to improve raw
throughput (worker loops) between 8 to 12% on a 24-core x86 with over 4
threads.
