nstool: Enter holder's cwd when changing mount ns with nstool exec

If we enter a mount namespace with nstool exec our working directory will
be changed to / in the new mount ns.  This is surprising if we haven't
actually altered any mounts yet in the new ns.  Instead, change the working
directory to match that of the holder process in this situation.
