Perhaps we should just remove this test. duperemove seems to be
quite flakey unreliable and keeps failing on my XFS test systems
(e.g. getting stuck in endless fiemap loops). I've set these tests
to be 'unreliable_in_parallel' because a 75% failure rate when the
system is under heavy load due to duperemove bugs is unacceptible in
a tool being used for a regression test.
