I have added tests/run.sh to 'make check' for non-root users. It should
be enough for smart people who do not rebuild their packages as root.

If you want to run all utils-linux tests then you have to

    cd tests && ./run.sh

*manually* as root user.

I have no problem to enable all the tests by default for all users,
but we need to *review and make robust* the scripts where is
ts_skip_nonroot.
