kernel: ipc: limit next_id allocation to the valid ID range

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The ipcidralloc function, used in the checkpoint/restore path for SysV Inter-Process Communication IPC ID allocation, does not properly limit ID allocation to the valid range. This can result in the system attempting to dereference freed memory, leading to a...
