Both shm_align_mask and SHMLBA want to avoid cache alias. But they are
inconsistent: shm_align_mask is (PAGE_SIZE - 1) while SHMLBA is SZ_64K,
but PAGE_SIZE is not always equal to SZ_64K.

This may cause problems when shmat() twice. Fix this problem by removing
shm_align_mask and using SHMLBA (SHMLBA - 1, strctly) instead.
"strictly SHMLBA - 1"?

By removing this altogether, a lot of code duplication is introduced it seems. Better make this a private #define so use sites remain nicely symbolic:

"#define SHM_ALIGN_MASK (SHMLBA - 1)"
