[PATCH] tests: stat-vs-dirent.sh: avoid a false failure


From: Pádraig Brady
Subject: [PATCH] tests: stat-vs-dirent.sh: avoid a false failure
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 2021 18:56:24 +0100

* tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent.sh: Skip the test if we can't stat(1),
as the file may have been removed, or have a malformed name
due to '\n' etc. in the file name.
