Note: I'm wondering if the unlinkat here is the problem that makes 
ftruncate() with 9p result in weird errors (e.g., the hypervisor 
unlinked the file and cannot reopen it for the fstatfs/ftruncate. ... 
which gives us weird errors here).

Then, we should lookup the fs type in run_with_local_tmpfile() before 
the unlink() and simply skip the test if it is 9p.
