Regression on 4.16, 4,14, 4.9 and 4.4 and all devices.

Regressions (compared to build v4.16.12)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

On all devices,
  ltp-syscalls-tests:
    * cve-2017-5669

  ltp-cve-tests:
    * cve-2017-5669

Test log:
------------
cve-2017-5669.c:62: INFO: Attempting to attach shared memory to null page
cve-2017-5669.c:74: INFO: Mapped shared memory to (nil)
cve-2017-5669.c:78: FAIL: We have mapped a VM address within the first 64Kb
cve-2017-5669.c:84: INFO: Touching shared memory to see if anything
strange happens
Summary:
passed   0
failed   1
skipped  0
warnings 0


The root cause is,
"Revert "ipc/shm: Fix shmat mmap nil-page protection"",
which explicitly rolls back the original change and mentions that
the LTP test case needs to be updated accordingly.

This regression initially detected on 4.17.0-rc5-next-20180516
Need more investigation on this issue.
