Subject: ipc, sem: fix backward compatibility with x86-32 kernels
Date: Sun, 15 May 2022 23:01:03 +0300

Since commit 275f22148e87 ("ipc: rename old-style shmctl/semctl/msgctl
syscalls") we have changed behavior:

ksys_semctl lost parse ipc version (ipc_parse_version), because the new
syscall works with IPC_64 only, but the parse function has some side
effect - it removes IPC_64 bit from `cmd`.

Some libc forced sends IPC_64 bit in semctl syscall[1][2][3], this leads
to a bug - X86-32 kernel does not have compat headers and does not
correctly parse received command (cmd) from semctl syscall: cmd have
actual command and IPC_64 bit, thus throw EINVAL error in ksys_semctl

This commit forcibly removes IPC_64 bit from the cmd to restore backward
compatibility.
