nsexec: retry unshare on EINVAL

Older kernels may return EINVAL on unshare when a process is reading
runc's /proc/$PID/status or /proc/$PID/maps. This was fixed by kernel
commit 12c641ab8270f ("unshare: Unsharing a thread does not require
unsharing a vm") in Linuxt  v4.3.

For CentOS 7, the fix was backported to CentOS 7.7 (kernel 3.10.0-1062).

To work around this kernel bug, let's retry on EINVAL a few times.
