Subject: shm updates broke UML

Vasiliy,

5774ed01 (shm: handle separate PID namespaces case)
b34a6b1d (ipc: introduce shm_rmid_forced sysctl)
4c677e2e (shm: optimize locking and ipc_namespace getting)

broke UML on i386.
It crashes while starting up by SIGSEGV.
exit_shm() seems to be the evil doer.

Reverting all three patches make UML work again.

Commit 5774ed01 removed the !ns->shm_rmid_forced check, maybe this is wrong?
The attached patch cures the problem, but I'm sure it's wrong. 8)
