The path canonicalization added in cfec5cc opens the parent directory of every declared tmpfiles.d path to get its (dev, ino) identity. Entries like selinux-policy's `w /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot` point at virtual filesystem paths that return EACCES in rootless containers (and ENOSYS under QEMU emulation). Treat these the same as a missing parent — return None — since the /var walker cannot encounter inaccessible paths either. Fixes: bootc-dev#2379 Assisted-by: AI Signed-off-by: gursewak1997 <gursmangat@gmail.com>
