Many pages still mention use of the obsolete sysctl(2) system
call, or used the term "sysctls"; rewrite these mentions to
instead be in terms of /proc interfaces.

Michael Kerrisk 732e54dd96 clone.2, mount.2, unshare.2, proc.5, path_resolution.7: Global fix: s/mount-point namespace/mount namespace/ 
This is more consistent with the term "mounts namespace"
used in the 2008 ACM SIGOPS paper, "Virtual servers
and and checkpoint/restart in mainstream Linux".
(I avoided the "s", because using the plural strikes me
as klunky English, and anyway we don't talk about
the "PIDs namespace" or the "networks namespace", etc..)
