[PATCH 2/2] generic/475: skip test when using an external log device

This test tests log recovery by kicking off fstress on the scratch fs,
then switch out the underlying the device with dm-error to see what
happens when the disk goes down. But when there is an external log
device writes to the log device still succeed, while writes to the
rest of the file system fail, and this leads to file system
corruption. So skip this test when there is an external log.
