linux: Clear mode_t padding bits (BZ#25623)

The kernel might not clear the padding value for the ipc_perm mode
fields in compat mode (32 bit running on a 64 bit kernel).  It was
fixed on v4.14 when the ipc compat code was refactored to move
(commits 553f770ef71b, 469391684626, c0ebccb6fa1e).

Although it is most likely a kernel issue, it was shown only due
BZ#18231 fix which made all the SysVIPC mode_t 32-bit regardless of
the kABI.

This patch fixes it by explicitly zeroing the upper bits for such
cases.  The __ASSUME_SYSVIPC_BROKEN_MODE_T case already handles
it with the shift.

(The aarch64 ipc_priv.h is superflous since
__ASSUME_SYSVIPC_DEFAULT_IPC_64 is now defined as default).

Checked on i686-linux-gnu on 3.10 and on 4.15 kernel.

(cherry picked from commit 82025bad80429c67a4d75f098155b5e02b5112b4)
