[PATCH] [RFC] Limit dump_pipe program's permission to init for container

[Zhao Lei]

Currently when we set core_pattern to a pipe, the pipe program is
forked by kthread running with root's permission, and write dumpfile
into host's filesystem.
Same thing happened for container, the dumper and dumpfile are also
in host(not in container).

It have following program:
1: Not consistent with file_type core_pattern
   When we set core_pattern to a file, the container will write dump
   into container's filesystem instead of host.
2: Not safe for privileged container
   In a privileged container, user can destroy host system by following
   command:
   # # In a container
   # echo "|/bin/dd of=/boot/vmlinuz" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
   # make_dump

This patch switch dumper program's permission to init task, it is to say,
for container, dumper program have same permission with init task in
container, which make dumper program put in container's filesystem, and
write coredump into container's filesystem.
The dumper's permission is also limited into subset of container's init
process.

See following discussion for detail:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/2455363
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/2397602

Todo:
1: Set different core_pattern to host and each container.
2: Keep compatibility with current design
All above are done in previous version of this patch,
need some restruct.

Any suggestion is welcome for this patch.
