fix an error caused by fd reuse race when starting runc init

In #3987(0e9a335), we may use a memfd to copy run to start runc init,
due to a Go stdlib bug, we need to add safeExe to the set of
ExtraFiles otherwise it is possible for the stdlib to clobber the fd
during forkAndExecInChild1 and replace it with some other file that
might be malicious. This is less than ideal (because the descriptor
will be non-O_CLOEXEC) however we have protections in "runc init" to
stop us from leaking extra file descriptors.
See <golang/go#61751>.

There is a race situation when we are opening this memfd, if the fd 6
or 7 was closed at that time, maybe it will be reused by memfd.

Because we want to add safeExe to the set of ExtraFiles, if the fd of
safeExe is too small, go stdlib will dup3 it to another fd, or dup3 a
other fd to this fd, then it will cause the fd type cmd.Path refers to
a random path. (issue: #4294)
