Fixes: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/issues/319
According to upstream thread (https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/28/2056),
cve-2017-5669 needs to address the "new" way of handling nil addresses
for shmat() when used with MAP_FIXED or SHM_REMAP flags.
- mapping nil-page is OK on lower addresses with MAP_FIXED (or else X11 is broken)
- mapping nil-page is NOT OK with SHM_REMAP on lower addresses
