ipc/shm: fix crash if CONFIG_SHMEM is not set
Commit c01d5b30 ("shmem: get_unmapped_area align huge page") makes use of shm_get_unmapped_area() in shm_file_operations() unconditional to CONFIG_MMU. As Tony Battersby pointed this can lead NULL-pointer dereference on machine with CONFIG_MMU=y and CONFIG_SHMEM=n. In this case ipc/shm is backed by ramfs which doesn't provide f_op->get_unmapped_area for configurations with MMU. The solution is to provide dummy f_op->get_unmapped_area for ramfs when CONFIG_MMU=y, which just call current->mm->get_unmapped_area().
