ipc/sem: make semctl setting sempid consistent As indicated by bug#112271, Linux sets the sempid value upon semctl, and not only for semop calls. However, within semctl we only do this for SETVAL, leaving SETALL without updating the field, and therefore rather inconsistent behavior when compared to other Unices. There is really no documentation regarding this and therefore users should not make assumptions. With this patch, along with updating semctl.2 manpages, this scenario should become less ambiguous As such, set sempid on SETALL cmd. Also update some in-code documentation, specifying where the sempid is set. Passes ltp and custom testcase where a child (fork) does SETALL to the set.
