Starting with kernel 7.1.0, sockets support extended attributes in the
user.* namespace. This behavior was enabled by dc0876b9846d ("xattr: support
extended attributes on sockets"), which permits user.* xattrs on S_IFSOCK
inodes (previously rejected with -EPERM).
Adapts the test to expect success (exp_err = 0) instead of EPERM when
testing fsetxattr(2) on sockets with kernel 7.1.0+.
Behavior:
- Kernel < 7.1.0: fsetxattr() on socket returns -EPERM (original behavior)
- Kernel >= 7.1.0: fsetxattr() on socket returns 0 (success, new behavior)

Maybe more readable would be 'check_kver' (I can change it before merge).

Brackets are not needed (not a mistake, but I'll remove it before merge).
