linux_user is default yes linux host and is only removed with --disable-linux-user.
So, to expose this wrongness one would have to configure with
 --disable-linux-user --target-list="foo-linux-user"

I guess we can still drop the $linux_user test and run it anyway, same way
tests only needed for system-qemu (gnutls, sasl..) are run even when
configuring for a linux-user targets build.
