Only question I have is whether we want to enable the move_mount test
unconditionally and let it break on kernels with the regression. Otherwise,
Historically we haven't broken the test suite for older kernels, but I
will admit that testing older kernels is no longer a priority for me.
If it were a new permission, I'd agree that we definitely want it
conditional on the appropriate kernel version. Since it is a fix for a
regression in checking an existing permission, it wasn't as clear to me.
Won't matter for RHEL because the fs_filesystem tests are only enabled
for >= 5.2 since the new system calls weren't added until then, so none
of these tests will run on RHEL regardless. It would only show up on
Fedora kernels from 5.2 through 5.5 that don't have the fix back-ported.
