[PATCH 2/2] Make core_pattern support namespace

Currently, each container shared one copy of coredump setting
with the host system, if host system changed the setting, each
running containers will be affected.
Moreover, it is not easy to let each container keeping their own
coredump setting.
We can use some workaround as pipe program to make the second
requirement possible, but it is not simple, and both host and
container are limited to set to fixed pipe program.
In one word, for host running contailer, we can't change core_pattern
anymore.
To make the problem more hard, if a host running more than one
container product, each product will try to snatch the global
coredump setting to fit their own requirement.
For container based on namespace design, it is good to allow
each container keeping their own coredump setting.
It will bring us following benefit:
1: Each container can change their own coredump setting
based on operation on /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
2: Coredump setting changed in host will not affect
running containers.
3: Support both case of "putting coredump in guest" and
"putting curedump in host".
Each namespace-based software(lxc, docker, ..) can use this function
to custom their dump setting.
And this function makes each continer working as separate system,
it fit for design goal of namespace.
Test(in lxc):
# In the host
# ----------------
# echo host_core >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
host_core
# ulimit -c 1024000
# ./make_dump
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
# ls -l
-rw------- 1 root root 331776 Feb 4 18:02 host_core.2175
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 759731 Feb 4 18:01 make_dump
#
# In the container
# ----------------
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
host_core
# echo container_core >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
# ./make_dump
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
# ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 759731 Feb 4 10:45 make_dump
-rw------- 1 root root 331776 Feb 4 10:45 container_core.16
#
# Return to host
# ----------------
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
host_core
# ls
host_core.2175 make_dump make_dump.c
# rm -f host_core.2175
# ./make_dump
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
# ls -l
-rw------- 1 root root 331776 Feb 4 18:49 host_core.2351
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 759731 Feb 4 18:01 make_dump
