The mcookie should reuse existing code, and there is definitely no need
to prefer /dev/random for this utility. See reference for explanation
about later statement.

* 'common_debug' of https://github.com/ooprala/util-linux:
clean up redundant macros and defines
libfdisk: use include/debug.h
libblkid: use include/debug.h
libmount: further debug.h integration
libcommon: don't mention lib versions in debug macros
libcommon: define more debugging macros
libmount: use macros from include/debug.h
libcommon: add common debugging routines
Note that open_memstream() is POSIX-1.2008, so it's possible than not
all libc have already implemented this function.

On system with /dev/lop-control the udevd creates /dev/loopN nodes.
It seems better to wait a moment after unsuccessful open(/dev/loopN)
and try it to open again.
The problem is pretty visible on systems where udevd also modifies
permission for loopN devices, then open() fails with EACCES when
losetup executed by non-root user (but user who is in "disk" group).

Let's use nanosleep() although if usleep() exists. The nanosleep
function does no interact with signals and other timers.
The patch introduces xusleep() as replacement to libc (or our fallback)
usleep(). Yes, we don't want to use struct timespec + nanosleep()
everywhere in code as nano-time resolution is useless for us.
The patch also enlarges delays in some busy wait loops. It seems
enough to try read/write 4x per second.

This makes it very convenient to use make use of privileged actions
on CONFIG_USER_NS enabled kernels, without having to manually tinker
with uid_map and gid_map to obtain required credentials (as those
given upon unshare() vanish with call to execve() and lot of userspace
checks for euid==0 anyway).
Usage example:
$ unshare --uts
unshare: unshare failed: Operation not permitted
$ unshare --user --uts
[nfsnobody@odvarok ~]$ hostname swag
hostname: you must be root to change the host name
$ unshare -r --uts
[root@odvarok util-linux]# hostname swag
[root@odvarok util-linux]#
