ipc: remove the ipc_get() routine

This is a trivial patch that removes the ipc_get() routine: it is replaced
by a call to idr_find().

- * So far only shm_get_stat() calls ipc_get() via shm_get(), so ipc_get()
- * is called with shm_ids.mutex locked.  Since grow_ary() is also called with
- * shm_ids.mutex down(for Shared Memory), there is no need to add read
- * barriers here to gurantee the writes in grow_ary() are seen in order 
- * here (for Alpha).
- *
- * However ipc_get() itself does not necessary require ipc_ids.mutex down. So
- * if in the future ipc_get() is used by other places without ipc_ids.mutex
- * down, then ipc_get() needs read memery barriers as ipc_lock() does.
