So what happens if a process creates a ucontext, forks, and then the
child creates and destroys a CQ? If I understand correctly, created
resources are always charged to the current process (the child), but
when it is destroyed the owner of the ucontext (the parent) will be
uncharged.

Since ucontexts are not meant to be used by multiple processes, I think
it would be okay to always charge the owner process (the one that
created the ucontext).
