I have not investigated at all but I _think_ over the weekend I saw
ftruncate() failure on a QEMU guest where /tmp was tmpfs.

Most likely explanation is user probably error (like /tmp wasn't
actually tmpfs or the tmpfile() did not actually come from /tmp). But
still, maybe just waving my hands and going "buggy filesystem, ignore"
wasn't so smart. I should actually understand the problem before
switching off tests.

So, I think this and the other "ignore on weird filesystem" patch 9/9
should be ignored for the moment.
