Change namespace creation for root and non-root
user differently in create_and_enter_ns() function

Test result with root user:
$sudo make  TARGETS="capabilities" kselftest
 ...
 TAP version 13
 1..1
 timeout set to 45
 selftests: capabilities: test_execve
 TAP version 13
 1..12
 [RUN]       +++ Tests with uid == 0 +++
 [NOTE]      Using global UIDs for tests
 [RUN]       Root => ep
 ...
 ok 12 Passed
 Totals: pass:12 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

 TAP version 13

Test result without root or normal user:
$make  TARGETS="capabilities" kselftest
