Alexey Gladkov 9220066ea8 docs: add information about ipc sysctls limitations
After 25b21cb2f6 ("[PATCH] IPC namespace core") and 4e9823111b
("[PATCH] IPC namespace - shm") the shared memory page count stopped being
global and started counting per ipc namespace.  The documentation and
shmget(2) still says that shmall is a global option.

shmget(2):

SHMALL System-wide limit on the total amount of shared memory, measured in
units of the system page size.  On Linux, this limit can be read and
modified via /proc/sys/kernel/shmall.

I think the changes made in 2006 should be documented.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
