Description

Fix semctl(2) breakage from the previous commit. Previously __semctl() had
a local 'semid' variable which was the array index and used uap->semid
as the original IPC id. During the kern_semctl() conversion those two
variables were collapsed into a single 'semid' variable breaking the
places that needed the original IPC ID. To fix, add a new 'semidx'
variable to hold the array index and leave 'semid' unmolested as the IPC
id. While I'm here, explicitly document that the (undocumented, at least
in semctl(2)) SEM_STAT command curiously expects an array index in the
'semid' parameter rather than an IPC id.
