Hi Avinesh,

I see from release notes [1]:

	The NTFS mount type (kernel FS driver) can be changed by the compile option
	--with-ntfs-mounttype=, the default is ntfs3.

As you already found I guess it started as PR#3618 [2] but later got
fixed/changed as PR#3872 [3] (previous attempt was PR#3807 [4]).

I guess there is nothing to be fixed in our lib/tst_supported_fs_types.c
(or even testcases/lib/tst_supported_fs.c which uses it) and there is no other
test using TST_ALL_FILESYSTEMS=1 which would need it.

Thanks for fixing this!
