qemu-iotests: Reduce racy output in 028

On my machine, './check -qcow2 028' was failing about 80% of the time, due to a race in how many times the repeated attempts to run 'info block-jobs' could occur before the job was done, showing up as a failure of fewer '(qemu) ' prompts than in the expected output. Silence the output during the repetitions, then add a final clean command to keep the expected output useful; once patched, I was finally able to run the test 20 times in a row with no failures.
