Better to use global variable carefully in common functions, if it's not
necessary, I'd recommend using "local ret" at here.

From my experience, the *quiet (-q)* grep does "exit_on_match" directly,
it won't wait the write process, if the write process is still writing but
the grep has exited, then it'll cause broken pipe, and the write process
exit with failure.

It doesn't always happend, it depends. So I'd like to use "${PIPESTATUS[1]}"
or write it as 'grep -q "not supported" <($FSTRIM_PROG $1 2>&1)', to make sure
we just care about the "grep" result.
