Switch over the msgctl, shmat, shmctl and semtimedop syscalls to use the compat
layer.  The problem was found with the debian procenv package, which called
	shmctl(0, SHM_INFO, &info);
in which the shmctl syscall then overwrote parts of the surrounding areas on
the stack on which the info variable was stored and thus lead to a segfault
later on.

Additionally fix the definition of struct shminfo64 to use unsigned longs like
the other architectures. This has no impact on userspace since we only have a
32bit userspace up to now.
