Seems this only works for multi-section config, not standalone
local.config file..

I set SCRATCH_DEV_POOL as a default var, so it's inherited by all
sections.

No, test results show that it should be before restoring TEST_DEV/DIR
etc. from previous run, this hunk:

        # We might have overriden TEST/SCRATCH vars with overlay base dir in the
        # previous run, so restore them to original values stored in OVL_BASE_*
        if [ "$FSTYP" == "overlay" ]; then
	...

In general, I think SCRATCH_DEV_POOL should be handled just after
reading in configs, as what you said. But multi-section config (maybe
and the new overlayfs config) makes things more complex, and my brain
stops working today..
