Subject: [PATCH] ext4/271: improve mkfs and mount error handling
If 271's attempt to make a scratch device fails, it can inadvertently
mount and run on a pre-existing scratch file system. This can lead to
invalid test results unless the mkfs failure is separately noted in
271.full.
Noted while debugging an ext4 inline data test failure. Small ext4 file
systems, as used by this test, use small inodes that are incompatible
with inline data.
