For CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, the /proc is not mountable, but the /proc directory has been created in the prepare() stage whenever /proc is there or not. so, the checking of /proc in the run_syscall() stage will be always true and at last it will fail all of the procfs dependent test cases, which deviates from the 'cond' check design of the EXPECT_xx macros, without procfs, these test cases should be skipped instead of failed. To solve this issue, one method is checking /proc/self instead of /proc, another method is removing the /proc directory completely for CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, we apply the second method to avoid misleading the users.
