Theoretically, IPC sysctl variables may be in different namespaces and we have to register an appropriate ctl root and new tables for each namespace.
On the other hand, the sysctl names do not differ from namespace to namespace, and we already tuned the IPC sysctl code to handle the multy-namespace variables. I think, that registering tables for each namespace is just a waste of kernel memory and unneeded code. Thus, I just switch the IPC code to use the paths and keep current namespaces management code as is.
