[PATCH] support: Handle FUSE_GETXATTR during FUSE FS mount

When testing with some kernel versions, support FUSE infrastructure
encounters a FUSE_GETXATTR request, leading to FUSE tests hanging until
timed out.  Therefore, pass FUSE_GETXATTR requests from
support_fuse_handle_mountpoint to support_fuse_handle_directory, and
adjust support_fuse_handle_directory to return ENOSYS so that tests can
proceed.
---
I ran into FUSE test failures on RHEL 10 aarch64 builders because during
mount, the test rig receives a FUSE_GETXATTR request and the test hangs.
Returning ENOSYS is sufficient for the tests to make progress and PASS.
