This is a regression test for a kernel patch; the XATTR_REPLACE is
supposed to succeed if you've added the fix. If it throws any kind of
error then the kernel is misbehaving, but it doesn't really matter which
error we get.
However, we could just get rid of the redundant error=%d printing,
seeing as we just perror'd anyway.
