When in a userns, tasks can't write to certain sysctl files:
(00.009653) 1: Error (sysctl.c:142): Can't open sysctl kernel/hostname: Permission denied
See inline comments for details on affected namespaces.
Mostly for my own education in what is required to port something to be
userns restorable, I ported the sysctl stuff. A potential concern for this
patch is that copying structures with pointers around is kind of gory. I
did it ad-hoc here, but it may be worth inventing some mechanisms to make
it easier, although I'm not sure what exactly that would look like
(potentially re-using some of the protobuf bits; I'll investigate this more
if it looks helpful when doing the cgroup user namespaces port?).
Another issue is that there is not a great way to return non-fd stuff in
memory right now from userns_call; one of the little hacks in this code
would be "simplified" if we invented a way to do this.
v2: coalesce the individual struct sysctl_req requests into one big
sysctl_userns_req that is in a contiguous region of memory so that we
can pass it via userns_call. Hopefully nobody finds my little ascii
diagram too offensive :)
v3: use the fork/setns trick to change the syctl values in the right ns for
IPC/UTS nses; see inline comment for details
v4: only use sysctl_userns_req when actually doing a userns_call.

We want to have buffered images to speed up dump and,
slightly, restore. Right now we use plan file descriptors
to write and read images to/from. Making them buffered
cannot be gracefully done on plain fds, so introduce
a new class.
This will also help if (when?) we will want to do more
complex changes with images, e.g. store them all in one
file or send them directly to the network.
For now the cr_img just contains one int _fd variable.
This patch chages the prototype of open_image() to
return struct cr_img *, pb_(read|write)* to accept one
and fixes the compilation of the rest of the code :)

We are going to replace pid on id in names of image files. The id is
uniq for each namespace, so it's more convient, if image files are
opened per namespace.

We have generic do_pb_show() call and tons of show_foo
routines, that just call one with proper args. Compact
the code by putting the args into array and calling
the do_pb_show() in one place.

These are structs that (now) tie together ns string
and the CLONE_ flag. It's nice to have one (some code
becomes simpler) and will help us with auto-namespaces
detection.

The pb_read thing is no longer a macros. This will allow to
factor out objects collecting on restore.

This will be required for parasite transport socket creation -- it will
have to be created in a net ns we're putting parasite in and then we'll
have to restore it back to original to go on dumping.

Since we need to operate with sysctls pretty heavy,
better to add some common engine for all handlers.

This is a standard convention to print error message (i.e. strerror(errno))
at the end of line, like this:
Cannot remove file: Permission denied
So pr_perror is fixed to follow this convention (using GNU extension
%m helps a lot here). Unfortunately, due to this we have to make
pr_perror() print a new line character, too, so we had to strip it
from the all pr_perror() invocations.
That (appending a newline) also makes pr_perror() a black sheep
in the herd of pr_* helpers, but what can we do? Worst case scenario
is an extra newline after an error message, not too harmful.
An alternative approach (stripping the newline from the passed format
string and re-adding it) was discussed thoroughly, and it was decided
that such a hack looks a bit too dirty.
