These functions are reused by the VM tests to collect and compare dmesg
warnings and oops counts. The future VM-specific tests use them heavily.
This patches relies on vm_ssh() already supporting namespaces.

Changes in v11:
- break these out into an earlier patch so that they can be used
directly in new patches (instead of causing churn by adding this
later)
