Sashiko says:
  This is a pre-existing issue, but the logic in check_new_ve_owner to verify that
  've.mnt_avail_nr' strictly decreases seems unsound, potentially causing
  intermittent test failures.
  Could the test environment allow for external factors that might not ensure
  this decrement happens logically?
  Is there a possibility that concurrent operations could influence the
  've.mnt_avail_nr' in a way that disrupts this test's reliability?

No, this is our namespace and nobody should touch it. If value is different, a bug
is somewhere.
