[ 36/50] ipc,shm: make shmctl_nolock lockless

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

------------------

From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@xxxxxx>

commit c97cb9ccab8c85428ec21eff690642ad2ce1fa8a upstream.

While the INFO cmd doesn't take the ipc lock, the STAT commands do acquire
it unnecessarily.  We can do the permissions and security checks only
holding the rcu lock.
