The check wasn't added for no reason.
It is difficult to distinguish between not being able to umount /proc,
and /proc not being mounted in the first place, and the bet is done on
the safe side of things, since after all those checks have passed,
we're going to 'rm -rf' the whole tree, and it is possible for a
mounted /proc to have undesired side-effect.
