Do you have lxcfs installed? At least my installation has high-enough limit
without me having to do anything.

dev ~ # cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem
32000   1024000000      500     32000
dev ~ # lxc-attach -n app01 -- cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem
32000   1024000000      500     32000

ubuntu 14.04, linux-image-generic-lts-wily 4.2.0.18.13,
lxc 1.1.5-0ubuntu3~ubuntu14.04.1 (from backports),
lxcfs 0.12-0ubuntu5~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1 (from ppa).
