This is already fixed on next:
There, I added this function to test-lib.sh:

require_xfs_()
{
  ( mkfs.xfs -V ) >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
    {
      say "skipping $0: this test requires XFS support"
      test_done
      exit
    }
}

So if you're inclined, you can see about cherry-picking
the required part(s).  If not, let me know and I'll do it.
