Use "2>&1", if you'd like to avoid some fsstress error output break golden image.

BTW, just for make, are you sure this can reproduce that bug? Due to that fix
commit said:
...
    we can easily reproduce this problem with the following commands:
            `fallocate -l100M disk`
            `mkfs.ext4 -b 1024 -g 256 disk`
            `mount disk /mnt`
            `fsstress -d /mnt -l 0 -n 1000 -p 1`
...

It uses "-l 0" to loop run fsstress until hit the bug. You removed the '-l 0',
so are you sure one round `fsstress -n 1000` is enough to reproduce this bug
stably?

Thanks,
Zorro
