Using sudo breaks the ability to use botocore to get profile credentials #121

mount.efs must be run as root

When using sudo mount -t efs... and aiming to use credentials from a credential_process in ~/.aws/credentials the botocore_credentials_helper function is called. Because the user is root at this point, botocore loads in root's credential and config files and so this doesn't actually work.

Thanks for the feedback. We’ll have someone take a look.
