ipc/sem: avoid idr tree lookup for interrupted semop

We can avoid the idr tree lookup (albeit possibly avoiding
idr_find_fast()) when being awoken in EINTR, as the semid will not
change in this context while blocked.  Use the sma pointer directly and
take the sem_lock, then re-check for RMID races.  We continue to
re-check the queue.status with the lock held such that we can detect
situations where we where are dealing with a spurious wakeup but another
task that holds the sem_lock updated the queue.status while we were
spinning for it.  Once we take the lock it obviously won't change again.

Being the only caller, get rid of sem_obtain_lock() altogether.
