There is no problem to fix, but every boot I read "/clearing /tmp" and
know it is a useless step since my /tmp live on volatile RAM anyway.
Other steps in rc(8) also check and print/log conditionally, so this
can do as well, saving yet another line.
There is also the unconditional
echo 'preserving editor files.'; /usr/libexec/vi.recover
which will never find anything to recover on mfs, but the script also
creates directories, so skipping it on mfs would actually break things.
