[PATCH 1/7] ipc: remove bogus lock comment for ipc_checkid

From: Rik van Riel
Date: Wed Mar 20 2013 - 16:15:56 EST


From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@xxxxxx>

There is no reason to be holding the ipc lock while
reading ipcp->seq, hence remove misleading comment.

Also simplify the return value for the function.
