Subject: ipc, msgqueue: NULL ptr deref in msgrcv

Hi all,
While fuzzing with trinity inside a KVM tools (lkvm) guest running latest -next,
I've stumbled on the follwing:

case SEARCH_EQUAL:

return 1;
My guess is that we managed to get testmsg() called without INIT_LIST_HEAD() somehow,
but I'm still not sure why.
Thanks,
Sasha
