Subject: [PATCH 17/20] ipc/shm: Remove special shm_alloc/free

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

There is nothing special about the shm_alloc/free routines any more,
so remove them to make code more readable.

Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

[manfred@...orfullife.com: Rediff, to continue to keep rcu for
free calls after a successful security_shm_alloc()]
