Shared pidns detection is wrong in initProcess.wait #3866

Description

When someone is using libcontainer to start and kill containers from a long lived process (i.e. the same process creates and removes the container), initProcess.wait method is used, which has a kludge to work around killing containers that do not have their own PID namespace.

The code that checks for own PID namespace is not entirely correct. To be exact, it does not set sharePidns flag when the host/caller PID namespace is implicitly used. As a result, the above mentioned kludge does not work.

Here's the incorrect code:

nsMaps := make(map[configs.NamespaceType]string)
for _, ns := range c.config.Namespaces {
if ns.Path != "" {
nsMaps[ns.Type] = ns.Path
}
}
_, sharePidns := nsMaps[configs.NEWPID]
