The cleanup_ipc() is intended to be executed just before the main pid
exits since it unlinks the shm file. If child TBROKs it's catched in the
check_child_status() in the parent, tst_brk() is called which will call
the cleanup_ipc().

I guess that we may close and unmap the shm even in the children but
wouldn't that happen anyway as the process exits?

At the moment I do not remember a test that would need timeout to be
turned off. And if we find that it's necessary we can always disable in
case that tst_test->timeout < 0.
