Description

In conf-sanity_test_83 two appearance of "$dev" var will give reported error when server is 2.1 or older.

        add ost1 $(mkfs_opts ost1 $dev) $FSTYPE_OPT \
                --reformat $dev $dev > /dev/null ||
                error "format ost1 error"

Although it is clear that check is added to to skip the test if the ost version is older than 2.6.91

[[ $(lustre_version_code ost1) -ge $(version_code 2.6.91) ]] ||
                { skip "Need OST version at least 2.6.91" && return 0; }

still as a good coding practice that parameter is erroneous hence should be removed.
