We have apparently had a memory leak since
7ca7e564e049d8b350ec9d958ff25eaa24226352
"ipc: store ipcs into IDRs" in 2007.  The idr of which 3
exist for each ipc namespace is never freed.

This patch simply frees them when the ipcns is freed.  I don't
believe any idr_remove() are done from rcu (and could therefore
be delayed until after this idr_destroy()), so the patch should
be safe.  Some quick testing showed no harm, and the memory
leak fixed.

Caught by kmemleak.
