[PATCH 1/1] ipc namespace: initialize init_ipc_ns.count to 1

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Hi Andrew,

when I sent an earlier version of the posix mqueue namespaces patchset
you called me on setting init_ipc_ns.count to 2.  The following patch
changes that to 1.  This is safe because the 1-count is for swapper, who
cannot unshare the namespace.  Having init do unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC) only
drops the count to 1.  No pre-init resources other than tasks pin (and
therefore can decrease the refcount on) an ipc_ns.
