statx04.c:86 is an example of what LTP tests do: they check if a feature 
is available or not in the specific environment.
In our case, we need to skip filesystems which are not supporting inode 
attributes, due to the usage of ioctl(FS_IOC_GETFLAGS). And this is what
unlink09 does in my patch.

The Avinesh approach only changes flags for open(), which is still ok, 
but not enough and probably SAFE_CREAT() is better in our case.
But if FS doesn't support inode attributes, test fails generating noise 
that requires debugging on the system as well, just to understand if 
there's a bug or not.

And this is (of course) something that we would like to avoid...
