Ensure we can always terminate the parent process on error

As we all know, we should terminate the parent process if there is an
error when starting the container process, but these terminate function
are called in many places, for example: `initProcess`, `setnsProcess`,
and `Container`, if we forget this terminate call for some errors, it
will let the container in unknown state, so we should change to call it
in some final places.
