ipc: use private shmem or hugetlbfs inodes for shm segments.
The shm implementation internally uses shmem or hugetlbfs inodes for shm
segments. As these inodes are never directly exposed to userspace and
only accessed through the shm operations which are already hooked by
security modules, mark the inodes with the S_PRIVATE flag so that inode
security initialization and permission checking is skipped.
This was motivated by the following lockdep warning:
