Right, thanks for info. Hm, there can be some tests which just want to know
supported filesystems without running them and we have to require root for them.

There could be a solutions (tst_get_supported_fs_types() could have warning
about PATH when user is not root and no mkfs.* found or just changing in
has_mkfs() "mkfs.%s does not exist" to "mkfs.%s does not found" to give more
obvious hint). But it's just a corner case issue, no need to bother with it.

Kind regards,
Petr
