[CRIU] "ghost regfile" restore failure

[Andrei Vagin]

Hi Ross,

Here one of processes has a file descriptor to a deleted file. When criu
meets such file descriptor, it saves a content of a file
in the image directory. And on restore, criu generates a ghost file to
restore the file descriptor. You can find more info in this article:

Does anyone modify content of these read only mount?
