fuzz tested 32 bit user mode linux image hangs at in histfs

["Toralf Förster" <toralf.foerster@gmx.de>]

When I fuzz testing a 32 bit UML at a 32 bit host (guest 3.12.-rc6-x, host 3.11.6) with trinity
and use hostfs for the victom files for trinity. then trintiy often hangs while trying to finish.

At the host I do have 1 process eating 100% CPU power of 1 core. A back trace of thet linux process at the hosts gives :

Last message of trinity's watchdog are :

...
[watchdog] exit_reason=2, but 2 children still running.
Bailing main loop. Exit reason: Reached maximum syscall count.
[watchdog] Reached limit 10001. Telling children to exit.
[watchdog] [1516] Watchdog exiting


I'm unsure if this is only UML specific, interesting for the fs people or mm or ... ?
