[PATCH] ipcs: Avoid shmall overflows

[Vasilis Liaskovitis <vliaskovitis@xxxxxxxx>]

Avoid computing the number of bytes in shmall, by only
computing the number of Kbytes. This improves some
overflows, e.g.

$ echo "4503599627370496" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
$ ipcs -l | grep 'max total shared memory'
Before:
max total shared memory (kbytes) = 18014398509481980
After:
max total shared memory (kbytes) = 18014398509481984

$ echo "99993599627370500" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
99993599627370500
$ ipcs -l | grep 'max total shared memory'
Before:
max total shared memory (kbytes) = 18014398509481980
After:
max total shared memory (kbytes) = 399974398509482000
