I think we don't need this option in CRIU. If you don't snapshot a file
system, a problem with tmp files is only one of your problems

I think not many users use CRIU directly and you call CRIU from scriptrs
or other programs, you can use post-dump and pre-restore to restore all
required files.

Thanks,
Andrew
