sysvipc: make get_maxid O(1) again

For a custom microbenchmark on a 3.30GHz Xeon SandyBridge, which calls
IPC_STAT over and over, it was calculated that, on avg the cost of
ipc_get_maxid() for increasing amounts of keys was:

 10 keys: ~900 cycles
 100 keys: ~15000 cycles
 1000 keys: ~150000 cycles
 10000 keys: ~2100000 cycles

This is unsurprising as maxid is currently O(n).

By having the max_id available in O(1) we save all those cycles for each
semctl(_STAT) command, the idr_find can be expensive -- which some real
(customer) workloads actually poll on.

Note that this used to be the case, until commit 7ca7e564e04 ("ipc:
store ipcs into IDRs").  The cost is the extra idr_find when doing
RMIDs, but we simply go backwards, and should not take too many
iterations to find the new value.
