Ok, so why do we need to test the scratch device for this
sysfs file check? We've already got the test device mounted, and
filesystems tend to present identical sysfs control files for all
mounted filesystems.

i.e. this _require_fs_sysfs() function could just drop the device
and check the test device for whether the sysfs entry exists. If it
doesn't, then the scratch device isn't going to have it, either.

I wouldn't expect unmount to hang if you just "mount/pull
device/unmount" like this test appears to be doing. The filesystem
has to have dirty metadata for it to reliably hang. run a short
fsstress load, pull the device while it is running, then unmount.

Cheers,

Dave.
