Subject: [PATCH 2/3] shm: Allow exit_shm in parallel if only marking orphans

If shm_rmid_force (the default state) is not set then the shmids are only
marked as orphaned and does not require any add, delete, or locking of the tree
structure.

Seperate the sysctl on and off case, and only obtain the read lock. The newly
added list head can be deleted under the read lock because we are only called
with current and will only change the semids allocated by this task and not
manipulate the list.

This commit assumes that up_read includes a sufficient memory barrier for the
writes to be seen my others that later obtain a write lock.
