Avoid SIGBUS on Linux when a DSM memory request overruns tmpfs.
On Linux, shared memory segments created with shm_open() are backed by swap files created in tmpfs. If the swap file needs to be extended, but there's no tmpfs space left, you get a very unfriendly SIGBUS trap. To avoid this, force allocation of the full request size when we create the segment. This adds a few cycles, but none that we wouldn't expend later anyway, assuming the request isn't hugely bigger than the actual need. Make this code #ifdef __linux__, because (a) there's not currently a reason to think the same problem exists on other platforms, and (b) applying posix_fallocate() to an FD created by shm_open() isn't very portable anyway. Back-patch to 9.4 where the DSM code came in. Thomas Munro, per a bug report from Amul Sul Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1002664500.12301802.1471008223422.JavaMail.yahoo@mail.yahoo.com
