This is caused by an assumption that link count of a directory without any
hardlinks is 2 (or more general, 2 plus number of subdirectories).  This is
true on 70's sysvfs and descendants like ext*, and emulated by most
filesystems, but not all.

Btrfs and some remote filesystems instead always give 1 (directory hardlinks
being an unthing on any filesystems I'm aware of, symlinks and reflinks have
a different semantic and thus neither is shown in link count).

Thus, this test is bogus and should be skipped.
