Hi Al,

Well, because core_pattern indicates the path to store core file.
In different mnt namespace, we would like to change the path with
different value.

In addition, Let's considering other namespaces:
UTS ns: contains informations of kernel and arch, not proper for
core_pattern.
IPC ns: communication informations, not proper for core_pattern
PID ns: core_pattern is not related with pid
net ns: obviousely no.
user ns: not proper too.

Then I believe it's better to do this in mnt namespace. of course,
core_pattern is just one example. After this infrastructure finished,
we can implement more sysctls as per-mnt if necessary, I think.

Al, what do you think about this idea?
