ext2fs.

The problem seems to be that the llseek fails with EINVAL.  With 2.2.17,
the llseek succeeds and the write fails with EINVAL, which the testcase
handles as indicating LFS not supported.  This looks like a deliberate
change in 2.2.18 (fs/ext2/file.c), so the testcase should probably treat
EINVAL from lseek64 the same as ENOSYS.
