8e1d4ef231d8327be219f7aea7aa15d181375bbc virtiofsd: move to a new pid namespace
virtiofsd needs access to /proc/self/fd. Let's move to a new pid
namespace so that a compromised process cannot see another other
processes running on the system.
One wrinkle in this approach: unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) affects *child*
processes and not the current process. Therefore we need to fork the
pid 1 process that will actually run virtiofsd and leave a parent in
waitpid(2). This is not the same thing as daemonization and parent
processes should not notice a difference.
