I wrote this for groups that exist somewhere but would never have been
selected for this filesystem type in the first place.  For example,
'dangerous_scrub' (aka fuzz testing for xfs_scrub) is only found in
tests/xfs/group, so running:

# FSTYP=ext4 ./check -x dangerous_scrub

fails because ./check cannot select any of the dangerous_scrub tests for
an ext4 run so it doesn't recognize the group name.  IOWs, it's too
stupid to realize that excluding a group that can't be selected should
be a no-op.
