[CRIU] [PATCH] cr-service: require non-cooperative userfaultfd for lazy-pages

Without non-cooperative userfaultfd some programs may fail during lazy
restore because they perform operations that cannot be handled by the
lazy-pages daemon.

I've noticed that we don't really have RPC support for lazy-pages. I've
rechecked Adrian's pull request to runc and there is a requirement to run
lazy-pages daemon manually.
Do we want to add an RPC interface for lazy-pages?
Another possibility is to fork() lazy-pages from restore...
