shmounts: terminate the forked off mount namespace capture helper

Make sure to terminate the forked off mount namespace capture helper, otherwise
the child will continue execution of the remaining setup code and thus cause a
race with the parent which occasionally manifests itself with the
/var/snap/lxd/common/shmounts being missing from the parennt's mount namespace
after it has switched back to the moutn ns of pid 1.
