I don't believe this is a right thing to do, $TEST_DEV isn't supposed to be
rebuilt, but, to be kept around over several xfstests runs, for filesystem aging
testing.

Having this here might cause a xfstests user to accidentally mkfs an aged
filesystem, which IMHO is not something we want to do with $TEST_DEV
