cgroup namespace update

[Serge Hallyn]

 During xenial cycle we applied a patch (and a followon fix for criu)
to fix a usability problem with cgroup namespaces and /proc/self/mountinfo.
Since then, the approach to fix it upstream has changed. Please revert
the two nsroot patches currently in xenial and yakkety, and replace them
with the new patches.

Impact:
One or the other of these patchsets suffices for docker in lxd to work.
The patchset being reverted required a docker patch, the new one does
not. Docker cannot work inside lxd with neither patchset.

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 1584163

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

With xenial kernel:

132 125 0:57 /lxc/x1 /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime - cgroup cgroup rw,blkio,nsroot=/lxc/x1

with xenial-proposed kernel:

134 125 0:59 / /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime - cgroup cgroup rw,blkio
