/system rw remount fails on Android 4.3 #23

@GoogleCodeExporter

Description

@GoogleCodeExporter
This is a known "problem" with 4.3. While remounting the /system partition in 
rw mode actually works, it only shows it for the user that did the mount 
command, root here. So reading /proc/mounts as normal user will not show 
/system as rw, and the test fails

The attached patch works around this problem by reading it via "su -c cat 
/proc/mounts", working fine here :)
