I will fix it.

Actually, I could use clean_up() first , but due to My testing machine
has a bug causes clean_up() very slow......
I use call clean_up() before prepare(), make sense?

Yes, but due to our insert loop module and create a fake-disk and bound
to loop0, so format loop0 should doesn't matter.

SECONDS is a built-in variable in bash, it will automatic increase.

I will fix this.

Use many loop devices for get a enough long time to compare with 1 second.
if we only create 1 loop device, I afraid it can't be measured.
In this scenario, I could get the duration of unbound and bound loop
device takes.
OK, I could try your suggestion.

I will send patch later.
