Subject: [PATCH] shmdt: use i_size_read() instead of ->i_size


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

Andrew Morton noted

	http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20141104142027.a7a0d010772d84560b445f59@linux-foundation.org

that the shmdt uses inode->i_size outside of i_mutex being held.
There is one more case in shm.c in shm_destroy().  This converts
both users over to use i_size_read().
