I was trying to figure out why mount_mfs was exiting silently and not
mounting anything (SNAP-950412), and I noticed that stderr gets closed
in mkfs(), so the error message that would get printed when the mount()
fails never gets seen.  (Of course my problem was that I didn't have
MFS in my kernel -- it works fine now that I do.)
