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.
