Subject: [PATCH] cope with "rd.shell=0" in the testsuite

If emergency and shutdown-emergency hooks are called, the systemd should
poweroff the testsuite, therefore "rd.shell=0" is given on the test
suite kernel command lines.

"rd.shell=0" has to be parsed correctly by the test suite real root init
also.
