This change adapted t_nullmnt to skip rather than fail on
kernels without nullfs support:

Rather than check whether `mount -t null' works at all as the
condition for skipping, it should check whether `null' appears
in sysctl vfs.generic.fstypes -- and it should fail if `mount
-t null' fails in that case.

Since that test is mounting, and not using rump,
it should probably also skip unless
[ "$(id -u)" = 0 ] || [ "$(sysctl -n vfs.generic.usermount)" != 0 ]
