Er, if the listxattr corrupts the buffer memory, how does this test
detect that?  Does the kernel crash or something?

Seeing as each filesystem has different xattr limits, I wonder if
instead of special casing of f2fs we ought to capture the
stdout/stderr of SETFATTR_PROG and filter out the ENOSPC message?

AFAICT this test isn't trying to check that setting xattrs succeeds, but
I'm a little confused on how we detect the corrupted buffer...
