#1701764 — [PATCH_v4.1_3/3] Make core_pattern support namespace

Currently, each container shared one copy of coredump setting
with the host system, if host system changed the setting, each
running containers will be affected.
Same story happened when container changed core_pattern, both
host and other container will be affected.

For container based on namespace design, it is good to allow
each container keeping their own coredump setting.

It will bring us following benefit:
1: Each container can change their own coredump setting
   based on operation on /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
2: Coredump setting changed in host will not affect
   running containers.
3: Support both case of "putting coredump in guest" and
   "putting curedump in host".

Each namespace-based software(lxc, docker, ..) can use this function
to custom their dump setting.

And this function makes each continer working as separate system,
it fit for design goal of namespace.

Test(in lxc):
 # In the host
 # ----------------
 # echo host_core >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
 # cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
 host_core
 # ulimit -c 1024000
 # ./make_dump
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
 # ls -l
 -rw------- 1 root root 331776 Feb  4 18:02 host_core.2175
 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 759731 Feb  4 18:01 make_dump
 #

 # In the container
 # ----------------
 # cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
 host_core
 # echo container_core >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
 # ./make_dump
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
 # ls -l
 -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       759731 Feb  4 10:45 make_dump
 -rw-------    1 root     root       331776 Feb  4 10:45 container_core.16
 #

 # Return to host
 # ----------------
 # cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
 host_core
 # ls
 host_core.2175  make_dump  make_dump.c
 # rm -f host_core.2175
 # ./make_dump
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
 # ls -l
 -rw------- 1 root root 331776 Feb  4 18:49 host_core.2351
 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 759731 Feb  4 18:01 make_dump

 From what I can see, this is basically setting a per-pidns core_pattern 
(which is hierarchically applied). I'm not sure this actually solves the 
more general problem (that usermode helper settings aren't generally 
namespace-aware) -- and what happens if you have processes in the same 
pidns that have different mount namespaces?

If we _had_ to do it like this I would think it makes more sense to pin 
it to mountns, but I was under the impression that someone was working 
on making usermode helpers play nicer with namespaces.

Just my $0.02.
