Even if we got a fix into docker/systemd/runc, etc to not use EPERM,
IMHO we're going to need the workaround present in glibc regardless
for quite some time.

There are many public cloud based services that use containers. For
example majority of public CI services (GitLab, Cirrus, Travis) use
container based infra. While we can encourage them to upgrade, it is
doubtful we can rely on them getting the fix into their versions of
docker anytime soon. We can't leave Fedora rawhide/34 broken
when used in such systems.

Of course this isn't really a Fedora problem - any distro which upgrades
to new glibc will suffer this same bad behaviour. Ubuntu/Debian/RHEL-9
will all hit it and likely want a workaround added in glibc.

Daniel
