When system is configured with user.max_user_namespaces=0 irqbalance service fails to start with the following error:
Jun 05 14:19:35 localhost systemd[1]: Started irqbalance daemon.
Jun 05 14:19:35 localhost systemd[683]: irqbalance.service: Failed to set up user namespacing: No space left on device
Jun 05 14:19:35 localhost systemd[683]: irqbalance.service: Failed at step USER spawning /usr/sbin/irqbalance: No space left on device
