This fixes the various compiler warnings when building the msgque selftest. The primary change is using sys/msg.h instead of linux/msg.h directly to gain the API declarations.

Given that the selftest/ipc/ only consists of this test, I wonder if the test should just be moved to ltp, where the ipc tests are a lot more complete and robust -- and which I've been using for years for basic testing code changes.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for having ipc tests in the kernel, but it seems rather impractical to have them in both places considering the relevance of ltp in the community and how long they have existed there.
I'm also speaking on the basis that by ipc we are referring only to sysv and posix flavors.
