Previously a so-called utcb shared page was used for transfering
data between posix services. This was a special shmat/get/dt case
allocating from its own virtual pool. Now the term utcb is renamed
as a shared page and integrated with the shm* handling routines.
Generic l4 threads will use long-ipc and not this method. Posix
services will continue to communicate on a shared page for now.

- Added cleaner allocation of shm addresses by moving the allocation to do_mmap().
- Added deletion routine for all objects: shadow, vm_file of type vfs_file, shm_file, etc.
- Need to make sure objects get deleted properly after exit().
- Currently we allow a single, unique virtual address for each shm segment.
- Added automatic utcb map/prefaulting of forked tasks for fs0
so that it does not need to explicitly request those tasks from mm0.
Eliminating fs0 requests to mm0 reduce deadlock possibilities.
- Replaced kmalloc with a public malloc implementation because of a bug in kmalloc.
- Fixed a kfree bug. default_release_pages was trying to free page_array pages.
- fixed is_err(x), was evaluating x twice, resulting in calling a
function x twice.
- Divided task initialisation into multiple parts.
- MM0 now creates a tcb for itself and maintains memory regions of its own.
- MM0's tcb is used for mmapping other tasks' regions. MM0 mmaps and prefaults
those regions, instead of the typical mmap() and fault approach used by
non-pager tasks.
For example there's an internal shmget_shmat() path to map in other tasks'
shm utcbs. Those mappings are then prefaulted into mm0's address space using
the default fault handling path.
- FS0 now reads task data into its utcb from mm0 via a syscall.
FS0 shmat()s to utcbs of other tasks, e.g. mm0 and test0.
FS0 then crashes, that is to be fixed and where this commit is left last.
For anonymous shm, mmap now adds a shm_file and devzero behind it
as two vm_objects. Faults are handled by copy_on_write(). Just as
shadows copy r/w pages from original files, it should copy r/w
pages from devzero into the shm_file in front.
shmat/shmget uses mmap to set-up their areas.
Untested yet so bugs expected.
