Revert "util: Fine tune running_in_chroot() a bit" (#5506)

This reverts commit 295ee9845c801300298d01256eb5a9e3ff117ae0.

Let'd revert this for now, see #5446 for discussions.

We want systemd-detect-virt --chroot to return true for all chroot-like stuff, for
example mock environments which have use a mount namespace. The downside
of this revert that systemctl will not work from our own namespaced services, anything
with RootDirectory=/RootImage= set.
