There's typically no cgroup for the int_ima_ns, so not effect on
init_ima_ns.

Here's the updated text:

Limit the number of policy rules one can set in non-init_ima_ns to a
hardcoded 1024 rules to restrict the amount of memory used for IMA's
policy. Ignore the added rules if the user attempts to exceed this
limit by setting too many additional rules.

Switch the accounting for the memory allocated for IMA policy rules to
GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT so that cgroups kernel memory accounting takes effect.
This switch has no effect on the init_ima_ns.
