    ipc,shm: correct error return value in shmctl (SHM_UNLOCK) · 3a72660b

    Commit 2caacaa8 ("ipc,shm: shorten critical region for shmctl")
    restructured the ipc shm to shorten critical region, but introduced a
    path where the return value could be -EPERM, even if the operation
    actually was performed.
    
    Before the commit, the err return value was reset by the return value
    from security_shm_shmctl() after the if (!ns_capable(...)) statement.
    
    Now, we still exit the if statement with err set to -EPERM, and in the
    case of SHM_UNLOCK, it is not reset at all, and used as the return value
    from shmctl.
    
    To fix this, we only set err when errors occur, leaving the fallthrough
    case alone.
