It's pending in my stage tree, because it crashes current upstream
kernel, and Dave wants the fixes go upstream first, so the test won't
crash the test machine and interrupt the test.

I noticed the fixes are in xfs tree for-next branch, I think we're ready
to include this test in next fstests update.
