Instead of looking up the attribute in the array we can just create a
socket, try ato add an attribute and remove the socked instead. With
that we can up the code into a common header so that it's not duplicated
int two testcases. I guess that the best place would be the
lapi/socket.h header and we should add a static inline function
socket_xattrs_supported() there.
