_repair_scratch_fs() is supposed to actually fix the errors, does
"fsck -n" fix errors for bcachefs?
No - but with bcachefs fsck finding errors _always_ indicates a bug, so for the
purposes of these tests I think this is the right thing to do - I don't want the
tests to pass if fsck is finding and fixing errors.
Then _check_scratch_fs() should be used instead, which will fail the
test if any fsck finds any corruptions. _repair_scratch_fs() is meant to
fix errors, and only report failure when there's unfixable errors.
I see no reason to make such a change to generic tests that were written for
other filesystems, when this gets me exactly what I want.
Oh, I noticed that "with bcachefs fsck finding errors _always_ indicates
a bug" now.. Then I think using fsck -n is fine here, but better with
comments to describe why this is ok for bcachefs.

Also, we could just use _check_scratch_fs here instead of the open-coded
fsck command. As _check_scratch_fs calls _check_generic_filesystem()
which calls fsck -n internally, and handles mount/umount device
correctly and prints pretty log if there's any errors.

Thanks,
Eryu
