I was thinking the same thing - would be useful to add an xfstest for
this.  I actually noticed this old bug when someone reported an
unrelated problem (where "find . -type l" doesn't show the symlink but
"ls" and "stat" do) and the other unrelated symlink bug could be
useful to add to the same test

Are there other scenarios we could repro problems to an fs that
doesn't have a .getattr method (like cifs.ko, afs) or .permission
(like nfs and ext4)?
