sys_unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC) doesn't handle the undo lists properly, this can
cause a kernel memory corruption.  CLONE_NEWIPC must detach from the existing
undo lists.

Fix, part 1: add support for sys_unshare(CLONE_SYSVSEM)

The original reason to not support it was the potential (inevitable?)
confusion due to the fact that sys_unshare(CLONE_SYSVSEM) has the
inverse meaning of clone(CLONE_SYSVSEM).

Our two most reasonable options then appear to be (1) fully support
CLONE_SYSVSEM, or (2) continue to refuse explicit CLONE_SYSVSEM,
but always do it anyway on unshare(CLONE_SYSVSEM).  This patch does
(1).

Changelog:
Apr 16: SEH: switch to Manfred's alternative patch which
removes the unshare_semundo() function which
always refused CLONE_SYSVSEM.
