By forking off a user namespace before running mkfs and ID mapping the user running repart to root in the user namespace, we can make sure that files in the generated filesystems are all owned by root instead of the user running repart. To make this work we have to make sure that all the files in the root directory that's passed to the mkfs binary are owned by the user running repart, so we have to drop the shortcut for only a single root directory in partition_populate_directory().
