ipc: sysvsem: refuse clone(CLONE_SYSVSEM|CLONE_NEWIPC)
CLONE_NEWIPC|CLONE_SYSVSEM interaction isn't handled properly. This can cause
a kernel memory corruption. CLONE_NEWIPC must detach from the existing undo
lists.
Fix, part 3: refuse clone(CLONE_SYSVSEM|CLONE_NEWIPC).
With unshare, specifying CLONE_SYSVSEM means unshare the sysvsem. So it seems
reasonable that CLONE_NEWIPC without CLONE_SYSVSEM would just imply
CLONE_SYSVSEM.
However with clone, specifying CLONE_SYSVSEM means *share* the sysvsem. So
calling clone(CLONE_SYSVSEM|CLONE_NEWIPC) is explicitly asking for something
we can't allow. So return -EINVAL in that case.
