Modified Files:
	src/sys/kern: sysv_shm.c

Log Message:
Make per-process shm segment descriptor magement scale better for large
shminfo.shmseg, in view of the fact that only few processes utilize a
significant fraction of it:
-turn the table into a linked list, elements allocated from a pool(9)
-On fork(), just bump a refcount instead of copying the list; it will
 be decremented on exit() and exec(). Only copy if an attach or detach
 takes place in between, which is rarely the case.
