O_SEARCH test: mark revokex an expected fail on NFS

Description

O_SEARCH test: mark revokex an expected fail on NFS

The revokex test does not work when the scratch directory is created on NFS.
Given the nature of NFS, it likely can never work without looking like a
security hole since O_SEARCH would rely on the server knowing that the
directory did have +x at the time of open and that it's OK for it to have
been revoked based on POSIX specification for O_SEARCH.

This does mean that O_SEARCH is only partially functional on NFS in general,
but I suspect the execute bit getting revoked in the process is likely not
common.
