[PATCH 0/2] sched/membarrier, selftests: Introduce MEMBARRIER_CMD_GET_REGISTRATIONS

[Michal Clapinski <mclapinski@google.com>]

This change provides a method to query previously issued registrations.
It's needed for CRIU (checkpoint/restore in userspace). Before this
change we had to issue private membarrier commands during checkpoint -
if they succeeded, they must have been registered. Unfortunately global
membarrier succeeds even on unregistered processes, so there was no way to
tell if MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED had been issued or not.

CRIU is run after the process has been frozen with ptrace, so we don't
have to worry too much about the result of running this command in parallel
with registration commands.
