Secure promiscuous mode for posix semaphores

Adjusts the permissions of posix semaphores when promiscuous mode is enabled.

Note that changing permissions of semaphores is only supported on linux by
using the /dev/shm filesystem. As of now, linux does not use posix semaphores
anymore so this code is currently unsed.
