The SCRATCH_DEV will be umounted, don't need to do that in the end of each
test cases, except you need to do something on the unmounted SCRATCH_DEV
in the end.

I don't know why ext4/306 has that, maybe due to old reason, or we didn't
notice/care that when we reviewed it? And it's not worth sending a patch
just for removing this "not wrong but just redundant" line now. Except a
patch trys to cleanup all _cleanup().

Just checking. That's fine for me to keep this case as an ext4 only case.

I think something likes: echo "This is a test" > $SCRATCH_MNT/testfile
is good enough, don't need the "ext4" or "309" things.
