Currently, mount_sysfs() only creates /sys/fs/cgroup if cg_ns_supported().
The comment explains that we need to "Create mountpoint for
cgroups. Otherwise we are not allowed since we remount /sys read-only.";
that is: that we need to do it now, rather than later. However, the
comment doesn't do anything to explain why we only need to do this if
cg_ns_supported(); shouldn't we _always_ need to do it?
The answer is that if !use_cgns, then this was already done by the outer
child, so mount_sysfs() only needs to do it if use_cgns. Now,
mount_sysfs() doesn't know whether use_cgns, but !cg_ns_supported() implies
!use_cgns, so we can optimize" the case where we _know_ !use_cgns, and deal
with a no-op mkdir_p() in the false-positive where cgns_supported() but
!use_cgns.
But is it really much of an optimization? We're potentially spending an
access(2) (cg_ns_supported() could be cached from a previous call) to
potentially save an lstat(2) and mkdir(2); and all of them are on virtual
fileystems, so they should all be pretty cheap.
So, simplify and drop the conditional. It's a dubious optimization that
requires more text to explain than it's worth.
