Better is:

if (ioctl... == 0) {
    info->has_nocow = true;
    info->nocow = !!(attr & FS_NOCOW_FL)
}

to explicitly document the cases where we know nocow works but is not
set (and omitting it in cases where nocow doesn't exist because of the fs)

Missing documentation. When adding that, remember to add '(since 2.2)'
(or even since 2.1 if you think this is a bug fix that should go in
during hard freeze)
