Because for now the xt_qtaguid module allows procs to use tags without
having /dev/xt_qtaguid open, there was a case where it would try
to delete a resources from a list that was proc specific.
But that resource was never added to that list which is only
used when /dev/xt_qtaguid has been opened by the proc.

Once our userspace is fully updated, we won't need those exceptions.
