Don't check privsep user or path when unprivileged

If running with privsep (mandatory now) as a non-privileged user, we
don't chroot or change to an unprivileged user however we still checked
the existence of the user and directory.  Don't do those checks if we're
not going to use them.  Based in part on a patch from Lionel Fourquaux
via Corinna Vinschen, ok djm@
