Subject: ipc: re-enable msgmni automatic recomputing msgmni if set to negative

The enhancement as asked for by Yasunori: if msgmni is set to a negative
value, register it back into the ipcns notifier chain.

A new interface has been added to the notification mechanism:
notifier_chain_cond_register() registers a notifier block only if not already
registered.  With that new interface we avoid taking care of the states
changes in procfs.
