Currently, the setns() wrapper is supported only for x86_64 and i686
which leaves us failing to build on other platforms like arm, aarch64
and so on. This means, that the wrapper needs to be extended to those
platforms and make to fail on runtime not compile time.

The syscall numbers for other platforms was fetched using this
command:

kernel.git $ git grep "define.*__NR_setns" | grep -e arm -e powerpc -e s390
arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#define __NR_setns                   (__NR_SYSCALL_BASE+375)
arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd32.h:#define __NR_setns 375
arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#define __NR_setns               350
arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#define __NR_setns          339

NACK, we shouldn't be duplicating syscall definitions.  There should
be AC_CHECK_FUNCS([setns]) (instead of AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE() for the
syscall) and having with_lxc = "yes" and ac_cv_func_setns != "yes"
should result in an error.

If you really don't want to do this, you could do

syscall(SYS_setns, ...);

but definitely not duplicate __NR_.* macros from anywhere.  The fact
that it starts with double underscore should tell you that.

We are already doing that syscall(SYS_...) trick on two places in the
code, but it is appropriately encapsulated in defined(SYS_...) and
they are not redefined anywhere.  The cleanest thing would be just to
require new enough kernel/libc that supports what we need.
