This patch in -next (6a9f696d1627bacc91d1cebcfb177f474484e8ba) breaks
WSL2's interoperability feature, where Windows paths automatically get
added to PATH on start up so that Windows binaries can be accessed from
within Linux (such as clip.exe to pipe output to the clipboard). Before,
I would see a bunch of Linux + Windows folders in $PATH but after, I
only see the Linux folders (I can give you the actual PATH value if you
care but it is really long).

I am not at all familiar with the semantics of this patch or how
Microsoft would be using it to inject folders into PATH (they have some
documentation on it here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/interop) and I am not sure
how to go about figuring that out to see why this patch breaks something
(unless you have an idea). I have added the Hyper-V maintainers and list
to CC in case they know someone who could help.

Cheers,
Nathan
