Signed-off-by implies you tested it. Tested-by is used to
acknowledge third party testers, usually in the case to acknowledge
the fix was Tested-by the Reported-by...

And the signed-off-by belongs in the commit message (i.e. about the
first ---) not in the section after the commit message that is
stripped by the git tools.

Why should we emit a warning here? There's already information in the
log to indicate the filesystem is shut down...
