 It works, the problem is safe_getenv(), it requires root
 permissions.

 I had the test originally without the #ifdef TEST_PROGRAM, so the
 safe_getenv() was good idea, now it's overkill. Fixed, thanks!

 $ LIBMOUNT_KERNEL_CMDLINE=tests/ts/libmount/files/kernel_cmdline \
   ltrace -e fopen,getenv ./test_mount_utils --kernel-cmdline selinux=

 getenv("LIBMOUNT_DEBUG")                          = NULL
 getenv("LIBMOUNT_KERNEL_CMDLINE")                 = "tests/ts/libmount/files/kernel_c"...
 fopen("tests/ts/libmount/files/kernel_c"..., "r") = 0x1c99010

 Good idea. Implemented.
