| Subject: [PATCH 13/29] External checkpoint of a task other than ourself
| 
| Now we can do "external" checkpoint, i.e. act on another task.
| 
| sys_checkpoint() now looks up the target pid (in our namespace) and
| checkpoints that corresponding task. That task should be the root of
| a container.
| 
| sys_restart() remains the same, as the restart is always done in the
| context of the restarting task.
| 
| Changelog[v14]:
|   - Refuse non-self checkpoint if target task isn't frozen
| 
| Changelog[v12]:
|   - Replace obsolete cr_debug() with pr_debug()
| 
| Changelog[v11]:
|   - Copy contents of 'init->fs->root' instead of pointing to them
| 
| Changelog[v10]:
|   - Grab vfs root of container init, rather than current process
