has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: ipc/shm: fix shmat() nil address after round-down when remapping
shmat()'s SHM_REMAP option forbids passing a nil address for; this is in
fact the very first thing we check for. Andrea reported that for
SHM_RND|SHM_REMAP cases we can end up bypassing the initial addr check,
but we need to check again if the address was rounded down to nil. As of
this patch, such cases will return -EINVAL.
