If it is acceptable that tmpfs running tests which does not make much
sense without actually re-mounting devices, all other developers need
to care is using _scratch_remount() and _test_remount().

Even if someone does not use the functions, tests will only fail on
tmpfs, and people like me who cares about it will be happy to fix it.

So far, generic/053 is the only test which does something else between
umount and mount.
