[PATCH] ipc: save the ipc namespace while reading proc files
The problem we were assuming that current->nsproxy->ipc_ns would never change while someone has our file in /proc/sysvipc/ file open. Given that this can change with both unshare and by passing the file descriptor to another process that assumption is occasionally wrong. Therefore this patch causes /proc/sysvipc/* to cache the namespace and increment it's count when we open the file and to decrement the count when we close the file, ensuring consistent operation with no surprises.
