[PATCH 3/4] ipc/shm.c: check for integer overflow during shmget.

[Manfred Spraul]

SHMMAX is the upper limit for the size of a shared memory segment,
counted in bytes. The actual allocation is that size, rounded up to
the next full page.
Add a check that prevents the creation of segments where the
rounded up size causes an integer overflow.
