From latest reliability report

Additional information

There are also 5 instances of parallel/test-fs-rm failing in the reliability report. Often but not always in the same run as test-fs-rmdir-recursive. Maybe the tests have similar timing issues?

@mhdawson did the fix @bcoe made in #41545 solve this problem?
