[PATCH v3 2/3] sysctl: Allow to change limits for posix messages queues

[Alexey Gladkov]

All parameters of posix messages queues (queues_max/msg_max/msgsize_max)
end up being limited by RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE. The code in mqueue_get_inode is
where that limiting happens.

The RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE is bound to the user namespace and is counted
hierarchically.

We can allow root in the user namespace to modify the posix messages
queues parameters.
