The errno check for EOPNOTSUPP happens after acl_free() and
cleanup_testfile(). cleanup_testfile() calls unlink() internally,
and POSIX does not guarantee that errno is preserved after a
successful syscall. If unlink() clobbers errno, the EOPNOTSUPP
check silently fails and the test reports TBROK instead of TCONF.

test_chmod_acl() in the same file checks errno first:

    if (acl_set_file(...) < 0) {
        if (errno == EOPNOTSUPP) {
            acl_free(acl);
            cleanup_testfile();
            tst_brk(TCONF | TERRNO, ...);
        }
        acl_free(acl);
        cleanup_testfile();
        tst_brk(TBROK | TERRNO, ...);
    }

Could test_chown_acl() use the same pattern?
