Stefan Hajnoczi 8e1d4ef231 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.
