Description

This is the underlying issue causing docker/for-linux#743. It looks to me like the primary issue is that sysctls are applied before the UTS namespace is set up.

Research direction

Start by tracing where runc applies sysctls and where the UTS namespace is set up. Reproduce the namespace-related EACCES failure and verify that the issue is resolved when sysctls are applied in the appropriate namespace context.
