If the device is "mounted", tunefs triggers a mount -u to push
changes into the kernel.

The check is done by calling fstatvfs(), and if successful the
update is done on f_mntonname.

That's a recent change (2020-04-09) and at least the check is bogus
because fstatvfs() also succeeds when the device isn't mounted (and
returns the filesystem where /dev lives, usually the root filesystem).
