[PULL 8/8] virtiofsd: probe unshare(CLONE_FS) and print an error

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

An assertion failure is raised during request processing if
unshare(CLONE_FS) fails. Implement a probe at startup so the problem can
be detected right away.

Unfortunately Docker/Moby does not include unshare in the seccomp.json
list unless CAP_SYS_ADMIN is given. Other seccomp.json lists always
include unshare (e.g. podman is unaffected):
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seccomp/containers-golang/master/seccomp.json

Use "docker run --security-opt seccomp=path/to/seccomp.json ..." if the
default seccomp.json is missing unshare.
