The code maybe below(just check whether the device is a mountpotint, if 
it is, call tst_find_backing_dev api again)

My test environment is that
/dev/sda10              20G  623M   18G   4% /mnt/xfstests/test
/mnt/xfstests/test      20G  623M   18G   4% /mnt/xfstests/test/ovl-mnt

/mnt/xfstests/scratch   20G   46M   19G   1% /mnt/xfstests/scratch/ovl-mnt

and my TMPDIR env is /mnt/xfstests/test/ovl-mnt.
