[RFC v11][PATCH 10/13] External checkpoint of a task other than ourself

[Oren Laadan <orenl@cs.columbia.edu>]

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.

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

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
