In some cases we are checking if the mount namespace is enabled at two places: one is at the beginning of exported function (e.g. qemuDomainNamespaceSetupDisk()) and the other is at the beginning of qemuDomainNamespaceMknodPaths() which is called from the former function anyway. Then we have some other functions which rely on the later check solely. In order to compensate for possibly needles function call, qemuDomainNamespaceMknodPaths() returns early if @npaths is zero.
