[PATCH container] tools: drop fallback to old device list for passthrough mounts

[PATCH container] tools: drop fallback to old device list for passthrough mounts

[Filip Schauer]

The fallback to /var/lib/lxc/$vmid/devices was originally introduced in
ce1976b85361 ("Add device passthrough") as a temporary measure to handle
package upgrades occurring between lxc-pve-prestart-hook and
lxc-pve-autodev-hook.

A new major release has happened since, so remove the fallback.
