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.
