Modify the commit message.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Per Eric, Commit 05dadc0 ("Btrfs: add fiemap's flag check") added
validity checks to the fiemap flags and hence invalid flags are now
being rejected. Test 276 passes an invalid fiemap flag to btrfs, and
so that test fails since this commit was added.

Btrfs doesn't support FIEMAP_FLAG_XATTR, which is enabled by -x option
of filefrag, and will fail with
	'FIBMAP: Invalid argument'
for 'filefrag -vx'. 'filefrag -vx' fails on btrfs with
     'FIEMAP failed with unsupported flags 2'
Remove the '-x' option.
