This patchset firstly introduces minor changes to the test library which
are needed in order to convert more testcases to the newly introduced
.needs_rofs flag. Then converts about 1/3 of the existing EROFS tests
to use it.

The main motivation for this work is to speed up the syscalls run, since
we have many testcases that take a few seconds to run for no good
reason. The resulting speedup after this patchest is applied is about
half a minute for me and may be much greater on machines with slow I/O.

This also means that we can gain another minute by converting the rest
of the testcases.

Also this should fix these testcases on android as a side effect.
