      Description of problem:

      - `podman info` command is not working when we are running it inside the pod.
      - Getting following error
      ~~~
      [quicklab@upi-0 mayur]$ oc rsh podman-6cc4dcf74f-zvzqf
      sh-4.4# podman info
      WARN[0000] "/" is not a shared mount, this could cause issues or missing mounts with rootless containers 
      WARN[0000] Using rootless single mapping into the namespace. This might break some images. Check /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid for adding sub*ids if not using a network user 
      Error: cannot write uid_map: write /proc/21/uid_map: operation not permitted
      ~~~
      - Same steps are working for RHOCP version 4.10.Z
      - Pod is running with `privileged` SCC with root user.
      - Tried `SETFCAP` capabilities inside the deployment but no success. 
      ~~~
             capabilities:
                add: ["SETFCAP"]
      ~~~

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

       

      How reproducible:

      Yes we can reproduce it using following steps

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Craete Sarvice Account and add privileged SCC to it. 
      ~~~
      $ oc create sa testsa
      $ oc adm policy add-scc-to-user privileged -z testsa 
      ~~~
      2. Run the following deployment.
      ~~~
      [quicklab@upi-0 mayur]$ cat pod.yaml 
      apiVersion: apps/v1
      kind: Deployment
      metadata:
        labels:
          app: podman
        name:  podman
      spec:
        replicas: 1
        revisionHistoryLimit: 10
        selector:
          matchLabels:
            deployment: podman
        strategy:

            labels:
              deployment: podman
          spec:
            serviceAccountName: testsa
            containers:
            - image: registry.redhat.io/rhel8/podman
              imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
              name: httpd
              ports:
              - containerPort: 8080
                protocol: TCP
              - containerPort: 8443
                protocol: TCP
              resources: {}
              command: ["sleep"]
              args: ["10000000000"]
              terminationMessagePath: /dev/termination-log
              terminationMessagePolicy: File
            restartPolicy: Always
            securityContext:
              runAsUser: 0
              capabilities:
                add: ["SETFCAP"]
      $ oc create -f pod.yaml
      ~~~
      3. Take pod access and run `podman info` command
      ~~~
      $ oc rsh <pod name>
       # podman info
      ~~~

      Actual results:

      - Command is failing with error
      ~~~
      sh-4.4# podman info
      WARN[0000] "/" is not a shared mount, this could cause issues or missing mounts with rootless containers 
      WARN[0000] Using rootless single mapping into the namespace. This might break some images. Check /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid for adding sub*ids if not using a network user 
      Error: cannot write uid_map: write /proc/21/uid_map: operation not permitted
      ~~~

      Expected results:

      - Command should run wethout any error as same steps are working for RHOCP 4.10

      Additional info:

      - Also tried with multiple SCC but no success.
