Checking if we are root on the client side is generally pointless, since the
privileged operation will fail anyway and we can than log what precisly went
wrong.
A check like this makes sense only if:
- we need to do some expensive unprivileged operation before attempting the
privileged operation, and the check allows us avoid wasting resources.
- the privileged operation would fail but in an unclear way.
Neither of those cases applies here.
This fixes calls like 'udevadm control -h' as unprivileged user.
