(aarch64) Minimum XFS File System Size During Install Is 300 MB

The more recent version of the xfsprogs package that's included on the Oracle Linux 9.6 ISO for Arm platforms sets a minimum XFS file system size of 300 MB. This limit isn't applied when installing on x86_64 platforms.

Because the x86_64 ISO includes RHCK, an earlier version of xfsprogs is available to maintain compatibility. On aarch64, only UEK is available and a newer version of xfsprogs is included. The 300 MB limit is set by the newer version of xfsprogs included with UEK 8.
