[RFC][PATCH 6/8] mark /dev/null and zero as checkpointable

[Dave Hansen]

We currently have a special_file() check in the checkpoint
code which considers all special files as uncheckpointable.

Now that we have the f_op and a generic function, use that
to override these simple devices and make them OK to
checkpoint.
