The user_shm_lock and user_shm_unlock functions use a single global
spinlock for protecting the user->locked_shm.

This is an overhead for multiple CPUs calling this code even if they
are having different user_struct.

Remove the global shmlock_user_lock and introduce and use a new
spinlock inside of the user_struct structure.
