This shows the ugliness of the underlying ipc init asymmetry. Specifically,
140d0b2108f (Do 'shm_init_ns()' in an early pure_initcall) was the final
nail in the coffin to fix an exit_shm() race.

While normally we could just initialize the ipc_ids fields statically and
be over with initcall dependencies, your patch will require inits be done
dynamically for the rhashtable_init(). Oh well.

Also, why do you do this?

Thanks,
