export: fix usage with rootless containers

Fix usage of export when rootless containers are used without vfs.  We
join the conmon process namespaces as the container is running in a
different one.

There can be a problem if the user specify a different path for the
conmon process, and then the file is deleted.  In this case podman
won't be able to find the conmon process to join.

Closes: https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/2027
