[Devel] [PATCH RH7] fcntl: make F_GETOWN(EX) return 0 on dead owner task

Currently there is no way to differentiate file with alive owner from
file with dead owner but pid of the owner reused. That's why criu can't
actually know if it needs to restore file owner or not, because if it
restores owner but actual owner was dead, this can introduce unexpected
signals to the false-owner.

Let's change the api, so that F_GETOWN(EX) returns 0 in case actual
owner is dead already.
