[PATCH] IPC initialize shmmax and shmall from the current value not the default

[Marian Marinov <mm@1h.com>]

When we are creating new IPC namespace that should be cloned from the current namespace it is a good idea to copy the 
values of the current shmmax and shmall to the new namespace.

Copying the values of the init_ipc_ns would allow us to create new ipc namespaces with different values without granting 
them privileges to change those values.

Here is the proposed patch:
