Public bug reported:

Upstart now manages the Touch session via an Upstart Session Init. To
allow that sub-init running as a non-priv user to receive all SIGCHLD's
for processes it starts, it attempts to use PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER.
However, that prctl was added in kernel 3.4 and the kernel on my Nexus 7
is 3.1.10-6-grouper so does not have subreaper support:

$ sudo grep subreaper /var/log/upstart/ubuntu-touch-session-phablet.log
init: Unable to register as subreaper: Invalid argument

As such, please cherry-pick the following to all Touch kernels older
than 3.4 (maguro and grouper):
