Re: xfstests 258: Test xfs fs creation with fs size close to 4 TB

This one actually fails for me in a 32-bit userspace VM:

 QA output created by 259

...

When removing the dd output redirection thus turn into a:

+dd: failed to truncate to 4398046509056 bytes in output file `/259.image': File too large

As it turns out testfile is assigned to early in the test, and we thus
create the images on the root filesystem.

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Subject: [PATCH] xfstests: fix test 259

Move the assignment of testfile after the sourcing of the common.* files to
make sure TEST_DIR is already defined - without this we end up creating
the file on the root filesystem, which may not support large enough files.

Also add a sync after the mkfs.xfs invocation, as losetup -d might fail
the loop device deletion with -EBUSY otherwise.
