It was pointed out to me, that this patch was not accepted upstream.

Reading the openvz bug report [1], it seems there exists a workaround
now in vzctl 4.1. Jessie is shipping a recent enough version,
unfortunately, wheezy only has 3.0. You might ask the vzctl maintainers
for a backport of the jessie version.
