The witness file is only created for getfilecon() - not for
lgetfilecon().

I'm a bit biased about this patch. Okay, it's perfectly valid to
skip the test if the system doesn't support SELinux, but OTOH it may
be quite valuable to verify the exit codes like that on non-SELinux
systems, i.e., based on stderr of the last cp call, the "preloaded"
file must exist or not. The test could verify that. WDYT?

Thanks & have a nice day,
Berny
