fix corrupt sysvipc timestamps on 32-bit archs with old kernels
kernel commit 4693916846269d633a3664586650dbfac2c5562f (first included
in release v4.14) silently fixed a bug whereby the reserved space
(which was later used for high bits of time) in IPC_STAT structures
was left untouched rather than zeroed. this means that a caller that
wants to read the high bits needs to pre-zero the memory.

since it's not clear that these operations are permitted to modify the
destination buffer on failure, use a temp buffer and copy back to the
caller's buffer on success.
