But that only presents an error if SCRATCH_MNT isn't empty.  If it is,
we skip happily past.

SCRATCH_DEV without SCRATCH_MNT isn't a valid config, though.  That
./check assumes that SCRATCH_DEV being valid means SCRATCH_MNT is too is
the source of the problem.  The test in get_next_config would prevent
the problem if we replaced the ! -z "$SCRATCH_MNT" with ! -z "$SCRATCH_DEV"

... but _require_scratch doesn't run in ./check.  The individual test
cases are safe because _require_scratch runs there and does check.
./check just checks to see if $SCRATCH_DEV is set and then calls
_scratch_mkfs without checking $SCRATCH_MNT.  Since _scratch_mkfs
doesn't check either, boom.

In ./check, sure.  Fixing get_next_config does work as well.  I think
I'd like to keep the checks in _scratch_cleanup_files though so we don't
accidentally trip over that elsewhere.

Yeah, it's definitely a config problem.  SCRATCH_DEV was defined but I'd
defined SCRATCH_DIR instead of SCRATCH_MNT. Unfortunately, it's one I
discovered after "rm -rf /*" made it through to my autofs mount and
started working there.
