E.g. with podman we get default SELinux context mount options
for /dev/shm and /, resulting in all files getting context like
the following when created:
security.selinux="system_u:object_r:container_file_t:s0:c458,c677"
However you can't explicitly set that xattr:
$ touch file
$ setfattr -n "security.selinux" \
-v "system_u:object_r:container_file_t:s0:c458,c677" file
setfattr: file: Operation not supported
* tests/mv/part-symlink.sh: Avoid the issue. Note this is new
since v9.12 as mv now warns about xattr ENOTSUP failures.
* tests/misc/xattr.sh: Avoid the issue (which would have
existed before v9.12).
