drivers/raw_exec: restore ability to run tasks without nomad running …
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…as root

Although nomad officially does not support running the client as a non-root
user, doing so has been more or less possible with the raw_exec driver as
long as you don't expect features to work like networking or running tasks
as specific users. In the cgroups refactoring I bulldozed right over the
special casing we had in place for raw_exec to continue working if the cgroups
were unable to be created. This PR restores that behavior - you can now
(as before) run the nomad client as a non-root user and make use of the
raw_exec task driver.
