ipc/util.c: correct comment in ipc_obtain_object_check

The comment that explains ipc_obtain_object_check is wrong: The function
checks the sequence number, not the reference counter.

Note that checking the reference counter would be meaningless: The
reference counter is decreased without holding any locks, thus an object
with kern_ipc_perm.deleted=true may disappear at the end of the next rcu
grace period.
