The I/O test 128 uses 'dmsetup create' to create a device, optionally
using sudo to elevate privileges.

This works in GitLab CI, however, the resulting device never appears
in /dev leading the test to fail:

  1..1
  # running raw 128
  not ok raw 128

  (test program exited with status code 1)

Most likely the container environment the tests are being run under
has a hand-populated /dev such that newly created devices from device
mapper won't automatically appear.
