Increase the range of various posix message queue limits. Posix gives the message queue user the ability to 'trade off' the maximum size of messages with the number of possible messages that can be 'in flight'. Linux currently makes this trade off more restrictive than it needs to be. In particular, the maximum message size today can be made no smaller than 8192. This greatly restricts those applications that would like to have the ability to post large numbers of very small messages. So this task lowers the limit that the maximum message size can be set to, from 8192 to 128. It also lowers the limit that the maximum #number of messages in flight can be set to, from 10 to 1. With these changes the message queue user can make better trade offs between #messages and message size, in order to get everything to fit within the setrlimit(RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE) limit for that particular user. This patch also applies the values in /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_max as the defaults for the max #messages allowed and the max message size allowed, respectively, for those applications that do not supply these. Previously, the defaults were hardwired to 10 and 8192, respectively.
