Hmph. I specifically _tried_ to do that by breaking it into a separate
test with the name "create" in it, which I thought was one of the
code-words for "I'm doing stuff that will be used in another test". But
I guess there's no official rule on that. I dug up:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/20130826173501.GS4110@google.com/

but I guess I mis-remembered "create" being present there.
