[PATCH v3 0/2] liveupdate: prevent double preservation

[Pasha Tatashin]

Currently, LUO does not prevent the same file from being preserved twice
across different active sessions.

Because LUO preserves files of absolutely different types: memfd, and
upcoming vfiofd [1], iommufd [2], guestmefd (and possible kvmfd/cpufd).
There is no common private data or guarantee on how to prevent that the
same file is not preserved twice beside using inode or some slower and
expensive method like hashtables.

Changelog:
v3:
 - Renamed luo_preserved_files_xa to luo_preserved_files (Mike)
 - Added xa inserts during restoration, so a file that is not yet finished is
   not preserved at the same time. (Sashiko)
v2:
 - Because inodes of preserved files can be shared, we cannot rely on a
   flag in the inode. Therefore, use an xarray to prevent preserving
   duplicated files.
