[PATCH]Fix bug in msgsnd

[Mingming cao <cmm@us.ibm.com>]

Hello linus & Alan,

This patch fixes a bug in msgsnd.  If a message is sent via
pipelined_send(), the q_lrpid field of the associated message queue
(last pid receive) is not updated correctly.  The existing code
(apparently by mistake) updates the lspid field instead. The second
problem is that, for the pipelinesend case, q_lstime(last msgsnd time)
is set AFTER q_lrtime(last msgrcv time), yielding a negative time delta.

This patch is against kernel 2.4.9 and has been tested.  Please
apply.  

Please CC your feedback to me also, thanks.
