I would say in all cases.

as you can't unshare(CLONE_NEWPID), you might consider doing a 

	clone(CLONE_NEW*|CLONE_WHATEVER)

to restart 1 and then restart the container process tree under it, block
them, restore the container namespaces and other shared resources in the
right order and then release the processes to let them restart themselves. 
that's how we've implemented restart. You might be doing that already, 
sorry I haven't had time to look at your code. 

1 being an invariant between checkpoint and restart.
