Subject: [PATCH] Open /dev/kmsg in Android

In Android, ordinary processes don't have privilege to open /dev/kmsg.
That has been done by letting init open it (via `file /dev/kmsg w`) and
share the file descriptor with the forked process. The file descriptor
number is passed via an environment variable.

Implement the procedure.
