Prevent a deadlock when user namespace setup fails
Observed on Centos 7 when user namespaces are disabled: DerivationGoal::startBuilder() throws an exception, ~DerivationGoal() waits for the child process to exit, but the child process hangs forever in drainFD(userNamespaceSync.readSide.get()) in DerivationGoal::runChild(). Not sure why the SIGKILL doesn't get through. Issue #4092.
