[LTP] [PATCH 1/1] lib: Fix fs support detection for non-root

[Cyril Hrubis]

Hi!

Why is this needed?

Also this breaks FUSE detection.

Can't we just open the file and use fgets() in a loop?

Why do we have to execute a grep binary for something like this?

Maybe we can try to read /proc/filesystems here as a fallback?

Again why do we need this at all?
