[Devel] [PATCH 3/4] sysctl: Simplify ipc ns specific sysctls

[Eric W. Biederman]

This patch refactors the ipc sysctl support so that it is
simpler, more readable, and prepares for fixing the bug
with the wrong values being returned in the sys_sysctl interface.

The function proc_do_ipc_string was misnamed as it never handled
strings.  It's magic of when to work with strings and when to work
with longs belonged in the sysctl table.  I couldn't tell if the
code would work if you disabled the ipc namespace but it certainly
looked like it would have problems.
