ipc: always handle a new value of auto_msgmni

proc_dointvec_minmax() returns zero if a new value has been set.  So we
don't need to check all charecters have been handled.

Below you can find two examples.  In the new value has not been handled
properly.

$ strace ./a.out
open("/proc/sys/kernel/auto_msgmni", O_WRONLY) = 3
write(3, "0\n\0", 3)                    = 2
close(3)                                = 0
exit_group(0)
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

$strace ./a.out
open("/proc/sys/kernel/auto_msgmni", O_WRONLY) = 3
write(3, "0\n", 2)                      = 2
close(3)                                = 0

$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
a.out-697   [000] ....  3280.998235: unregister_ipcns_notifier <-proc_ipcauto_dointvec_minmax
