^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Isn't this increment also too late? Doesn't this need to move up
by ipc_rcu_getref while shp is still on the list?

Assuming the code is running in parallel with shm_exit_ns after removal
from shm_clist shm_destroy can run to completion and shm_exit_ns can
run to completion and the ipc namespace can be freed.
