Fix possible rootless netns cleanup race
rootlessNetNS.Cleanup() has an issue with how it detects if cleanup is needed, reading the container state is not good ebough because containers are first stopped and than cleanup will be called. So at one time two containers could wait for cleanup but the second one will fail because the first one triggered already the cleanup thus making rootless netns unavailable for the second container resulting in an teardown error. Instead of checking the container state we need to check the netns state. Secondly, podman unshare --rootless-netns should not do the cleanup. This causes more issues than it is worth fixing. Users also might want to use this to setup the namespace in a special way. If unshare also cleans this up right away we cannot do this. [NO NEW TESTS NEEDED] Fixes #12459 Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <pholzing@redhat.com>
