Tony Battersby a68e61e8ff shm: fix shmctl(SHM_INFO) lockup with !CONFIG_SHMEM ... shm_get_stat() assumes that the inode is a "struct shmem_inode_info", which is incorrect for !CONFIG_SHMEM (see fs/ramfs/inode.c: ramfs_get_inode() vs. mm/shmem.c: shmem_get_inode()). This bad assumption can cause shmctl(SHM_INFO) to lockup when shm_get_stat() tries to spin_lock(&info->lock). Users of !CONFIG_SHMEM may encounter this lockup simply by invoking the 'ipcs' command.
