    Avoid LXC pivot root in the root source is still /

This commit broke setup of /dev, because the code which
deals with setting up a private /dev and /dev/pts only
works if you do a pivotroot.

The original intent of avoiding the pivot root was to
try and ensure the new root has a minimumal mount
tree. The better way todo this is to just unmount the
bits we don't want (ie old /proc & /sys subtrees.
So apply the logic from

    Trim /proc & /sys subtrees before mounting new instances

to the pivot_root codepath as well
