Manfred Spraul 1a23395672 ipc/sem.c: remove sem_base, embed struct sem
sma->sem_base is initialized with

	sma->sem_base = (struct sem *) &sma[1];

The current code has four problems:
 - There is an unnecessary pointer dereference - sem_base is not needed.
 - Alignment for struct sem only works by chance.
 - The current code causes false positive for static code analysis.
 - This is a cast between different non-void types, which the future
   randstruct GCC plugin warns on.

And, as bonus, the code size gets smaller:

  Before:
    0 .text         00003770
  After:
    0 .text         0000374e

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
