This feature is not intended to limit host aio, right? Should it
be INT_MAX or something big here for ve0?

Let's add a helper for incrementing our failcounts:

#define ve_failcount_inc(ve, name)                                    \
do {                                                                  \
      struct ve_struct *__ve = (ve);                                  \
                                                                      \
      if (atomic_inc_return(&__ve->name##_failcount) == 1)            \
              pr_warn("CT%s: hits the " #name " limit, see the '"     \
                      #name "' counter in ve.failcount of the "       \
                      "container's ve cgroup\n", ve_name(__ve));      \
} while (0)

Call sites become one-liners:

--- a/fs/aio.c
-             atomic_inc(&ve->aio_failcount);
+             ve_failcount_inc(ve, aio);
--- a/fs/namespace.c
-             atomic_inc(&ve->mnt_failcount);
+             ve_failcount_inc(ve, mnt);
--- a/kernel/bpf/syscall.c
-                     atomic_inc(&load_ve->bpf_prog_failcount);
+                     ve_failcount_inc(load_ve, bpf_prog);
--- a/net/core/dev.c          (both register_netdevice() and __dev_change_net_namespace())
-             atomic_inc(&net->owner_ve->netif_failcount);
+             ve_failcount_inc(net->owner_ve, netif);
--- a/net/core/neighbour.c
-                     atomic_inc(&ve->neigh_tbl_failcount);
+                     ve_failcount_inc(ve, neigh_tbl);
--- a/net/core/net_namespace.c
-             atomic_inc(&ve->netns_failcount);
+             ve_failcount_inc(ve, netns);

The idea behind it is to show in dmesg that failcount was reached, to simpify
the detection of problematic containers for us.
