Since cgroup v1 is going to be deprecated, and the problem doesn't exist on cgroup v2, let's retry the checkpoint a few times (on v1 only) to avoid flaky tests.

Issues #4457, #4273.

I am hesitant into moving this logic into (*Container).Checkpoint as there is no [easy] way to distinguish "failure to freeze" criu error from other criu errors (and, in general, the fix belong to criu).

This is why we only patch tests here (to have less flakes).

Let's have it in CRIU instead: checkpoint-restore/criu#2545
