mountinfo: linux: use /proc/thread-self/mountinfo

In a Go program with many threads, which goroutine is running on the
thread-group leader thread is not something programs can controls. Thus,
even if you use runtime.LockOSThread() for threads that have different
mount namespaces, it's possible that /proc/self will refer to the
"wrong" thread.

The solution is to simply use /proc/thread-self, which will always
provide the correct result for the calling thread.

The usage of /proc/self/mountinfo caused isuses for a patch to runc
which creates a thread to create id-mapped mounts (which requires
joining the container mount namespace).
