When there is no procfs support, the /proc is not mountable, but the /proc directory has been created in the prepare() stage and therefore, the checking of /proc in the run_syscall() stage will be always true and at last will fail all of the procfs dependent test cases. To solve this issue, one method is checking /proc/self instead of /proc, another one is removing the /proc directory completely (when there is really no procfs support), we apply the second method to avoid mislead the users.
