"/dev" or "/dev/" is the mount point, not a device path. In particular, 'systemctl status /dev' clearly does not refer to a device, so let's tweak the code a bit to say that those are not device paths. (Treating "/../dev" same as "/dev" would be also be reasonable, but that requires chase(), which requires disk access, which we don't want to do from this lightweight function.)
