oomd: always allow root-owned cgroups to set ManagedOOMPreference

Commit 652a4efb66 ("oomd: loosen the restriction on ManagedOOMPreference")
made the change to allow ManagedOOMPreference on a cgroup candidate when
the monitored cgroup and cgroup candidate are owned by the same user.

The commit assumed that this check was sufficient to continue allowing
ManagedOOMPreference on all cgroups owned by root. However, it caused a
regression for unprivileged LXD containers where e.g. /sys/fs/cgroup is
owned by nobody (uid=65534).

Fix this by explicitly allowing the ManagedOOMPreference if uid == 0 in
oomd_fetch_cgroup_oom_preference().
