Subject: [PATCH 1/2] libselinux: only mount /proc if necessary

Commit 9df498884665d ("libselinux: Mount procfs before checking
/proc/filesystems") changed selinuxfs_exists() to always try
mounting /proc before reading /proc/filesystems.  However, this is
unnecessary if /proc is already mounted and can produce avc denials
if the process is not allowed to perform the mount.  Check first
to see if /proc is already present and only try the mount if it is not.
