Bug description:
  ================================================================
  Impact: restoring containers from a checkpoint doesn't work
  Development fix: LXC uses /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc as the path to moun the container's root filesystem in its private mount namespace before it pivot_roots during restore. Unfortunately, that's also the location of the lxc-restore-net script which criu tries to execute. Since at this point the container's fs has already been mounted there, the callback (and thus the restore) fails.
  Stable fix: Same as development fix
  Testcase: create a container, then do:
      sudo lxc-checkpoint -n $foo -s -D /tmp/checkpoint
      sudo lxc-checkpoint -r -n $foo -D /tmp/checkpoint

      The restore fails with,

      sh: 1: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc/lxc-restore-net: not found

  Regression potential: This can't effect anything besides lxc-checkpoint -r, which is broken anyways, so there should be no regressions.
