I think this introduces a race condition. There can be two containers
with the same root filesystem. If we start both at the same time, then
this deletion of /.oldroot can cause the other contanier to fail to
start if it saw that /.oldroot already existed & it thus tried to skip
mkdir.
Leaving the empty directory is harmless IMHO
