[PATCH 1/5] common/btrfs: fix awk field separator in _check_temp_fsid

Message-ID <[email protected]>
_check_temp_fsid() extracted the on-disk fsid with "awk -d\" \"",
but -d is gawk's --dump-variables option, not a field separator.
As a result awk tried to open a file named " " for writing and dumped
its variable list, polluting the test output with messages like:

  awk: warning: could not open ' ' for writing: Read-only file system
  awk: warning: sending variable list to standard error
  ARGC: 1
  ARGIND: 0
  ...

which made btrfs/311 (the only test currently exercising this helper)
fail. Use -F" " to set the field separator as intended.
