aux: use unused brd device for testing

When 'brd' device can be removed (is unused AKA not opened),
remove such device and use again for testing.

Let's assume user has no unused brd device left in the system.

When the 'tests' sometimes fail to cleanup devices, with this
change futher cleanup from some next test may evenually release
brd device and make it available for testing.
