unshare: fix -r
Calling unshare(2) immediately puts us in the new namespace with the "overflow" user and group ID. By calling geteuid() and getegid() in handle_r() after calling unshare(), we try to map that to root, which Linux refuses to let us do. What we really want to map to root is the caller's uid/gid in the original namespace. So we have to save them before calling unshare().
