>  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

In newseg when changing shm_cprid and shm_lprid from pid_t to struct
pid* I misread the kvmalloc as kvzalloc and thought shp was
initialized to 0.  As that is not the case it is not safe to for the
error handling to address shm_cprid and shm_lprid before they are
initialized.

Therefore move the cleanup of shm_cprid and shm_lprid from the no_file
error cleanup path to the no_id error cleanup path.  Ensuring that an
early error exit won't cause the oops above.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
