Test 249 was appearing to pass on ext4, but it wasn't really exercising the test due to lack of "-F" in the xfs_io arguments. Without -F the files were created (oddly enough); neither pwrite nor sendfile were executed, and the diff of the two (empty) files passed, resulting in a passed test without testing anything. So add the -F, capture the output, and test the result of each xfs_io invocation.
