This part looks fine.

But this breaks test on overlay, it fails to mount overlayfs.

And I manually revert d97dc0e and build mkswap from util-linux, and test
with ext4, but I didn't reproduce the failure. It seems it only happens
when underlying filesystem doesn't support extend attr? (I don't have a
RHEL6 env by hand..).
