[patch 03/39] shmdt cannot detach not-alined shm segment cleanly.

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

sys_shmdt() can manage shm segments which are covered by multiple vmas. (This
can happen when a user uses mprotect() after shmat().)

This works well if shm is aligned to PAGE_SIZE, but if not, the last
segment cannot be detached. It is because a comparison in sys_shmdt()

(vma->vm_end - addr) < size
addr == return address of shmat()
size == shmsize, argments to shmget()

size should be aligned to PAGE_SIZE before being compared with vma->vm_end,
which is aligned.
