[LTP] [PATCH] shmget02: fix EPERM test when RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is large enough

shmget(..., SHM_HUGETLB) will not fail with EPERM if there is enough space
for RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. If the limit is 0, it will fail with EPERM as expected
when a not enough privileged user calls it.

Set RLIMIT_MEMLOCK to 0 for all calls, as this is the only one which will
fail because of that limit, unless we are talking about very old kernels
(before 2.6.9).
