Now that the kernel has CLONE_NEWNS, it's possible to mount proc
"privately" just for a specific process tree. It meshes nicely with
CLONE_NEWPID. Previously if you mounted proc in a chroot, it cluttered
the mount list and leaked information about outside the root.
With modern clone/unshare, that's no longer a concern, so there's
much less reason to use "bare" chroots.
