This is a regression test to make sure that nonzero error returns from
a filesystem's ->sync_fs implementation are actually passed back to
userspace when the call stack involves syncfs(2).

Good to me, we can help to add the missing "_supported_fs xfs", if you don't
like to send a new version for that again.
