3cd8f9734d core/mount: use ptrace instead of go:linkname
The Go runtime has started to [lock down future uses of linkname][1] since
go1.23. In the go source code, containerd project has been marked in the
comment, [hall of shame][2]. Well, the go:linkname is used to fork no-op
subprocess efficiently. However, since that comment, I would like to use
ptrace and remove go:linkname in the whole repository.

With go1.22 `go:linkname`:

```bash
$ go test -bench=.  -benchmem ./ -exec sudo
goos: linux
goarch: amd64
pkg: github.com/containerd/containerd/v2/core/mount

PASS
ok      github.com/containerd/containerd/v2/core/mount  2.983s
```

With go1.22 `ptrace`:

```bash
$ go test -bench=.  -benchmem ./ -exec sudo
goos: linux
goarch: amd64
pkg: github.com/containerd/containerd/v2/core/mount

Diff:

The `ptrace` is slower than `go:linkname` mode. However, it's accepctable.
