I successfully ran this test against the linux-dm.git
"for-4.17/dm-changes" tag that Linus merged after the block changes:
 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git tags/for-4.17/dm-changes

# ./check tests/generic/347
FSTYP         -- ext4
PLATFORM      -- Linux/x86_64 thegoat 4.16.0-rc5.snitm
MKFS_OPTIONS  -- /dev/mapper/test-xfstests_scratch
MOUNT_OPTIONS -- -o acl,user_xattr /dev/mapper/test-xfstests_scratch /scratch

generic/347      65s
Ran: generic/347
Passed all 1 tests

SO this would seem to implicate some regression in the 4.17 block layer
changes.
