There are filesystems that do not support hard links that we want to run
xfstests on. Add a function for checking for support and use it wherever
hard links are used.

v2: Move all checks for hard link support to this patch.

As I've already pointed out, all of the filesystems that xfstests
supports have working hardlinks, so this is a test that will never
fail for anyone running xfstests on supported filesystems.

Also, I'm left to wonder what kernel filesystem supports
journaling but does not support hardlinks (as noted by the number of
tests you change that have "_require_metadata_journaling"). Why
aren't you also posting the patches to support the filesystem that
requires this "don't use hardlinks" patch?

And FWIW:

You check for support on the TEST_DEV, but ...

All but two of the tests you've added this check to make hard links
on the SCRATCH_DEV, which can have a different configuration to the
TEST_DEV.

Cheers,

Dave.

Just to clarify this: I don't care if people are using xfstests to
test proprietary filesystem modules. I'm happy to add proper support
for just about any filesystem, but that support needs to be *in
full* so *anyone* can run the tests on that filesystem.

What I really don't like is people being evasive about the reason
they want something changed. If there isn't a clear, full and
convincing explanation of why a change should be made, then I will
push back until such an explanation is given.

Cheers,

Dave.
