In linux after parent (father) process dies, children processes are
moved (reparented) to a reaper process. Roughly speaking:
1) If father has other yet alive thread, this thread would be a reaper.
2) Else if there is father's ancestor (with no pidns level change in the
middle), which has PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER set, this ancestor would be a
reaper.
3) Else father's pidns init would be a reaper for fathers children.
The problem with this for CRIU is that when CRIU comes to dump processes
it does not know the order in which processes and their resources were
created. And processes can have resources which a) can only be inherited
when we clone processes, b) can only be created by specific processes
and c) are shared between several processes (the example of such a
resource is process session). For such resources CRIU restore would need
to re-invent such order of process creation which at the same time
creates the desired process tree topology and allows to inherit all
resources right.
When process reparenting involves child-sub-reapers one can drastically
mix processes in process tree so that it is not obvious how to restore
everything right.
So this is what we came up with to help CRIU to overcome this problem:
CABA = Closest Alive Born Ancestor
CABD = Closest Alive Born Descendant
We want to put processes in one more tree - CABA tree. This tree is not
affecting reparenting or process creation in any way except for
providing a new information to CRIU so that we can understand from where
the reparented child had reparented, though original father is already
dead and probably a fathers father too, we can still have information
about the process which is still alive and was originally a parent of
process sequence (of already dead processes) which lead to us - CABA.

v2: fix unused variables reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>
v3: - on fork set caba to current, so that caba is always a process
which had initiated our creation, even for CLONE_PARENT case
- move caba update to a later stage (to __unhash_process), so that
zombies can be somebodies caba until fully released
v4: fix accidentally setting caba to thread leader when creating threads
