I've talked to Jan Kara in person while developing these tests, so there
is no track of this discussion.

I guess that the best we can do here is to:

* Apply this patch, since the test should generally check only for flags
  that are supported in the bitflag returned by the syscall

* Add another test that checks that these bitflags are enabled for new
  enough kernels for certain set of filesystems
