    Hi Oren,

    Is there really any good reason to use current->fs->root rather
    than ctx->root_task->fs->root here?

    The way I'm testing, the checkpointer is in fact in a different
    container, so the root passed into cr_fill_fname() is different
    from the container's root, so cr_fill_fname() always returns me
    -EBADF.

    thanks,
    -serge
