Our msg priorities became an rbtree as of d6629859b3 ("ipc/mqueue:
improve performance of send/recv"). However, consuming a msg in
msg_get() remains logarithmic (still being better than the case before
of course). By applying well known techniques to cache pointers we can
have the node with the highest priority in O(1), which is specially nice
for the rt cases. Furthermore, some callers can call msg_get() in a
loop.
A new msg_tree_erase() helper is also added to encapsulate the tree
removal and node_cache game. Passes ltp mq testcases.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
