[PATCH] sysctl: simplify ipc ns specific sysctls

Refactor 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.
