I'd prefer leaving stdout and stderr to caller to handle, because ..

it's easier to know the $tmp.mkfserr and $tmp.mkfsstd files should be
cleaned up, otherwise it's not that clear where these files come from.

With the implemention in the patch, the "2>$tmp.mkfserr 1>$tmp.mkfsstd"
part should be removed too, but with the suggested implemention we can
keep it :)

We've already declared mkfs_status as local, no need to do it again
here.
