No, your change is correct. Can you clean up the description of the
problem you had and add a Signed-off-by?

There are a handful of other tests that also unmount the TEST_DEV.
Perhaps adding a _test_umount() wrapper to common/rc (similar to
_scratch_umount) would be best. At least shared/243 needs the same
_test_mount treatment as this test.
