follow up on fix nightly test

[roywei]

Description

This is a followup on #14119
fixes #14026

In addition of increase shared memory on docker, I reduced the number of workers. It was using 32 workers and created too large shared memory.

Thanks for the help from the Berlin team, I just attended the office hours and was able to reproduce the docker environment and test the fix.
This fix is tested and passed on CI docker using AWS Ubuntu DeepLearning Base AMI on g3.8xlarge
running following test passed:

ci/build.py --docker-registry mxnetci --nvidiadocker --platform ubuntu_nightly_gpu --docker-build-retries 3 --shm-size 1500m /work/runtime_functions.sh nightly_tutorial_test_ubuntu_python2_gpu

output:
