Bug description:
  I'm not sure how I triggered this. I've been moving around between
  networks and suspending/resuming all day.

  Earlier in this boot I successfully used a container (start,
  networking and stop). I came to start the same one later and noticed
  that it didn't come up. Trying to attach to the console with lxc-
  console informed me that it wasn't running. I then saw suspicious
  content in dmesg:
