Is this something we want to fix eventually? If not, do we want a test
that is failing forever? I ask because I heard that this is something
not easy/worth fixing, at least low priority. But things may change now.

It's uncommon to cd to $SCRATCH_MNT in fstests, if it can be done
without doing so. Usually we do
testfile1=$SCRATCH_MNT/foo
testfile2=$SCRATCH_MNT/bar
<do tests on $testfile1 and $testfile2>
Can this test be updated in this way? And patch "overlay: test unstable
inode number"? Sorry that I forgot about this yesterday..
Thanks!
