I started rebasing and tuning dhowell's old container patches.

Right now I've bumped into use of "init_cred", which was made static in the recent past.

I guess I can address this by:

1. Removing static initialization of the field from struct container.
2. Adding a snippet of code to kernel initialization that assigns the same field dynamically using kernel_cred().

Is this the path I should take?

I don't have high hopes for this to move forward in mainline but since it's in my backlog and I've also promised to take a look of it, at least it is a learning experience :-)

And actually most interesting stuff happens in "low odds" area. I just work on something else if the outcome is "nay".
