Not an awful lot, but wonder if they should be fixed or
just left alone?
On a whim, I tried your command on my CentOS 7 (clean install) system,
only these five lines turned up:
find: ‘./proc/1853/task/1853/fd/5’: No such file or directory
find: ‘./proc/1853/task/1853/fdinfo/5’: No such file or directory
find: ‘./proc/1853/fd/6’: No such file or directory
find: ‘./proc/1853/fdinfo/6’: No such file or directory
find: ‘./run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied
So, faring better than your discovery.
There is no /proc/1853 anything. So was that a broken link pointing to
there, or was it finding something from there, that's now disappeared?
If I do (still as the root user): ll /run/user/1000/
ls: cannot access /run/user/1000/gvfs: Permission denied

Not sure if root oughtn't to be able to see gvfs, or that's just some
weird anomaly about how virtual file systems work.
Then, as myself, doing: ll /run/user/1000/

I thought root couldn't be stopped from viewing user's files.
