Daan De Meyer c8a68dc7b3 nspawn: move boot_id and kmsg backing file creation to outer child
Follow-up for af5126568a ("nspawn: keep backing files for boot_id and
kmsg bind mounts alive").

The backing files for the boot_id and kmsg bind mounts were previously
created in the inner child. However, /run/host/ is remounted read-only
by mount_all() in the inner child (via the MOUNT_IN_USERNS mount table
entry) before setup_boot_id() and setup_kmsg() run, so creating files
there would fail with EROFS.

Fix this by splitting the file creation into separate functions
(setup_boot_id_file() and setup_kmsg_fifo()) that run in the outer
child, where /run/host/ is still writable. The bind mounts onto /proc
remain in the inner child, since procfs is only mounted there.

Also move the backing files from /run/ to /run/host/ and drop the dot
prefix, since /run/host/ is the container-manager-owned namespace and
there is no need to hide these files there. Additionally, apply
userns_lchown() to the created files, matching the convention used by
all other outer child functions that create files in the container.
