SharedMemory constructor raises "cannot mmap an empty file" exception

Bug report

I was trying to clean up a shared memory object left behind by an earlier process using the following code:

shm = SharedMemory("some_name")
shm.close()
shm.unlink()

However, the first line resulted in an exception being raised:

  File "/home/USER/.pyenv/versions/3.9.10/lib/python3.9/multiprocessing/shared_memory.py", line 114, in __init__
    self._mmap = mmap.mmap(self._fd, size)
ValueError: cannot mmap an empty file

The exception handler around that line unlinks the object in case of an OSError, but not in case of this ValueError raised by mmap.mmap:

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/973a5203c151efb7a86a478140f7b0c9ae70438f/Lib/multiprocessing/shared_memory.py#L109-L117

This makes it effectively impossible to clean up this particular shared memory object through the standard library.

I'm not sure how the shared memory object was corrupted in the first place, but it looks like the exception is triggered because os.fstat states that it has size 0:

>>> f = _posixshmem.shm_open('some_name', os.O_RDWR, mode=0o600)
>>> os.fstat(f)
os.stat_result(st_mode=33152, st_ino=80, st_dev=27, st_nlink=1, st_uid=1000, st_gid=1000, st_size=0, st_atime=1651836036, st_mtime=1651836036, st_ctime=1651836036)

After which the code tries to mmap with size 0 and fails with the exception mentioned earlier.

I was only able to resolve this by calling _posixshmem.shm_unlink('some_name') manually. I think the exception handler should be extended to also unlink the file if it was truncated to 0 like this.

This scenario can be reproduced with the following code:

import _posixshmem
import os
from multiprocessing.shared_memory import SharedMemory

f = _posixshmem.shm_open('test', os.O_RDWR | os.O_CREAT | os.O_EXCL, 0o600)
os.close(f)

try:
    mem = SharedMemory("test")
finally:
    _posixshmem.shm_unlink("test")
