While it works fine for me @bdausses was seeing chef-client hang
forever on macos 10.14. It turns out running sysctl -a on his VM was causing the
system to hang. Besides this crash it actually takes about 2x longer to
gather the additional data, which we never use. This shaves a whole 0.033255 seconds from
the total runtime of Ohai.
