So considering EINVAL, even your approach to bumping up nattach by calling
_shm_open earlier isn't enough. Races exposed to user called rmid can still
occur between dropping the lock and doing ->mmap(). Ultimately this leads to
all ipc_valid_object() checks, as we totally ignore SHM_DEST segments nowadays
since we forbid mapping previously removed segments.

I think this is the first thing we must decide before going forward with this
mess. ipc currently defines invalid objects by merely checking the deleted flag.

Particularly something like this, which we could then add to the vma validity
check, thus saving the lookup as well.
