    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.
