ipc/namespace.c: use a work queue to free_ipc
the reason is to avoid a delay caused by the synchronize_rcu() call in
kern_umount() when the mqueue mount is freed.
the code:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <sched.h>
#include <error.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
if (unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC) < 0)
error(EXIT_FAILURE, errno, "unshare");
}
