[RFC v16][PATCH 19/43] c/r: external checkpoint of a task other than ourself

[Oren Laadan]

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, unless CHECKPOINT_SUBTREE flag is given.

sys_restart() remains the same, as the restart is always done in the
context of the restarting task.

Changelog[v16]:
  - Use CHECKPOINT_SUBTREE to allow subtree (partial container)

Changelog[v14]:
  - Refuse non-self checkpoint if target task isn't frozen

Changelog[v12]:
  - Replace obsolete ckpt_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
