[PATCH 05/12] ipc/util.c: correct comment in ipc_obtain_object_check

[Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>]

The comment that explains ipc_obtain_object_check is wrong:
The function checks the sequence number, not the reference
counter.
Note that checking the reference counter would be meaningless:
The reference counter is decreased without holding any locks,
thus an object with kern_ipc_perm.deleted=true may disappear at
the end of the next rcu grace period.
