Fixes inability to use /dev/null when inside a container

This is a forward port of https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/pull/3620

The original code depended on the origin filesystem to have
/dev/{block,char} populated. This is done by udev normally and while is
very common non-containerized systemd installs, it's very easy to start
systemd in a container created by runc itself and not have
/dev/{block,char} populated. When this occurs, the following error
output is observed:

$ docker run hello-world
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: error reopening /dev/null inside container: open /dev/null: operation not permitted: unknown.

/dev/null can't be opened because it was not added to the
deviceAllowList, as there was no /dev/char directory. The change here
utilizes the fact that when sysfs in in use, there is a
/sys/dev/{block,char} that is kernel maintained that we can check.
