Ah, sorry.

Does anyone know a situation where checking the mount path doesn't work?
It seems like we are just checking the device numbers first for
historical reasons and not because it is necessary.

I haven't seen any failure reports for io_control01 which only checks
the path with tst_stat_mount_dev. However this test only runs if you
have CG v2 enabled by default.
