[PATCH 1/3] erofs-utils: tests: fix broken loop in POSIX shells

`{1..n}` is a bashism. A POSIX shell iterates once over that literal
string, so the test silently sets a single attribute instead of three and
nothing crosses the block boundary any more. Sadly, `seq` is also not
POSIX (although ubiquitous).

Spell out the loop.
