Every time I see this I have to think about whether it is right or not.
I'm not sure whether it's worth commenting (at each such meme) that
CLONE_NEWIPC only needed to be set the first time we ran across that
ipcns, or whether it's indicative that there is a simpler way the code
could be done.  But if it just took me a twice-over to see that it's
right, when I'd already confirmed that with the CLONE_NEWUTS version
last week, then a fresh reviewer will be cursing your name...
