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:

This version only differs in the patch description, which restores
the original lockdep trace from Morten Stevens. It was unfortunately
mangled in the prior version.
