Subject: [PATCH 01/10] Introduce trivial sys_checkpoint and sys_restore system calls

Right now they just return -ENOSYS. Later they will provide functionality
to checkpoint and restart a container.

Both syscalls take as arguments a file descriptor and flags.
Also sys_checkpoint take as the first argument a PID of container's init
(later it will be container ID); sys_restart takes as the first argument
a container ID (right now it will not be used).
