I have a subtle feeling that this hunk should be in patch #1 :)

So does this...

The userns daemon starts before forking init task and thus lives in criu's namespaces.
The sysctl restore should operate on the init's (at least) net namespace, so this
open() should open the wrong sysctl. Am I wrong?
