According to mke2fs man, we can create a filesystem on the mounted device
when -FF option is specified.
However, currently we have to specify -F option third to force mke2fs.
This patch fixes the problem.
Note that force mke2fs for mounted block device fails because mke2fs opens
a device with O_EXCL flag. This work is contradictory to mke2fs man page,
but I'm not sure it should be fixed or not. What do you think?
