[PATCH 4/4] sysctl: Fix sys_sysctl interface of ipc sysctls

[Eric W. Biederman]

Currently there is a regression and the ipc sysctls
don't show up in the binary sysctl namespace.

This patch adds sysctl_ipc_data to read data/write from the
appropriate namespace and deliver it in the expected manner.
