Unshare mount namespace in bootchart's thread 

When bootchart is enabled its thread shares the mount namespace context
with the main thread. This prevents the main thread to switch the mount
namespace later with setns().

So, unshare() the mount namespace of the bootchart thread.

Bug: 229983560
Test: rebooted with bootcharting on/off
    enter_default_mount_ns should succeeded.
