Here is a patch to do so:

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] containers: implement namespace tracking subsystem (v3)

When a task enters a new namespace via a clone() or unshare(), a
new container is created and the task moves into it.

This version names containers which are automatically created
using container_clone() as "node_<pid>" where pid is the pid of
the unsharing or cloned process.  (Thanks Pavel for the idea)
This is safe because if the process unshares again, it will
create
	/containers/(...)/node_<pid>/node_<pid>

The only possibilities (AFAICT) for a -EEXIST on unshare are
	1. pid wraparound
	2. a process fails an unshare, then tries again.
Case 1 is unlikely enough that I ignore it (at least for now).
In case 2, the node_<pid> will be empty and can be rmdir'ed to
make the subsequent unshare() succeed.

Changelog:
	Name cloned containers as "node_<pid>".

(no idea where to start versioning, calling this v3 "at random")
