The loop/011 is regression test for kernel commit 5f75e081ab5c ("loop: 
Disable fallocate() zero and discard if not supported") which requires 
minimum kernel version 6.10. So running this test on kernel version
older than v6.10 would FAIL. This patch ensures that we skip running 
loop/011 if kernel version is older than v6.10.

The patch has been backported to 6.9 stable as well.

Hi Cyril, Nilay,

According to www.kernel.org, the 6.9 stable branch is already EOL. Is it planned
to backport the kernel fix to other longterm branches?
