testsuite: Fix uname() during glibc startup
In a specific configuration (chroot with the linux32 personality), the
modprobe_install_cmd_loop test failed, because the bash process handling
the install command segfaulted. The backtrace showed a uname() call
during libpthread initialization, at which point the environ pointer
hadn't been initialized yet:
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x080c1591 in getenv (name=<optimized out>,
name@entry=0xf775f850 "TESTSUITE_UNAME_R") at getenv.c:81
81 for (i = 0, len = strlen (name); environ[i]; i++)
(gdb) bt

I don't know why it only happend in the chroot, but glibc can call its
own functions and impose any restrictions before main() is started, so
we have to adapt.
Also, do not return error if there is an environment, but the
environment variable is not found. If uname() is called by kmod, then
the respective test will simply fail later. If it's something else
calling uname(), then we do not want to disturb the program.
