Systemd mounts these unconditionally, none of them need to be specified.

An fstab entry will remount them to apply custom options, but they are
always mounted.

mtab as a regular file is not supported at all. Systemd requires mtab
to be a symlink to /proc. Tthere is no need to pass that option on
systemd systems.
