The bug is real, all right, but I'm not sure I like that fix.
The problem hits in arch/xtensa/kernel/syscall.c, right?  I'd rather
get correct declaration into include/linux/syscalls.h and drop the
asm-generic/syscalls.h one.  I'll do it that way the next time I
push into for-next (in the morning, that is); for now your variant
will do as a temporary fix, of course.

Incidentally, xtensa_shmat() looks very similar to sys_shmat().  The
only difference is force_successful_syscall_return() in the latter
and that expands to do { } while (0) on xtensa (i.e. default gets used).
Granted, I'm half asleep right now and could've easily missed something,
but...
