So this is a very similar approach that I posted back when this discussion
arose: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/12/959 -- There are a few differences
for which I prefer mine :)

o My shm_check_vma_validity() also deals with IPC_RMID as we do the
ipc_valid_object() check.

o We have a new WARN where necessary, instead of having one now is shm_open.

o My no-ops explicitly pair.

Hmm what's this shm_close() about?

Thanks,
