[BUG]
After incoming kernel commit "btrfs: qgroup: verify btrfs_qgroup_inherit
parameter", test case btrfs/121 would fail like this:
btrfs/121 1s ... [failed, exit status 1]- output mismatch (see /xfstests/results//btrfs/121.out.bad)

QA output created by 121

(Run 'diff -u /xfstests/tests/btrfs/121.out /xfstests/results//btrfs/121.out.bad' to see the entire diff)
[CAUSE]
The incoming kernel commit would do early qgroups validation before
subvolume/snapshot creation, and reject invalid qgroups immediately.
Meanwhile that test case itself still assume the ioctl would go on
without any error, thus the new behavior would break the test case.
[FIX]
Instead of relying on the snapshot creation ioctl return value, we just
completely ignore the output of that snapshot creation.
Then manually check if the fs is still read-write.
For different kernels (3 cases), they would lead to the following
results:
- Older unpatched kernel
The filesystem would trigger a transaction abort (would be caught by
dmesg filter), and also fail the "touch" command.
- Older but patched kernel
The filesystem continues to create the snapshot, while still keeps the
fs read-write.
- Latest kernel with qgroup validation
The filesystem refuses to create the snapshot, while still keeps the
fs read-write.
Both "older but patched" and "latest" kernels would still pass the test
case, even with different behaviors.
