I don't think this is the correct way to do it. If btrfs doesn't support
external log device, then this test doesn't fit btrfs, or we need other
ways to test btrfs.

One of the problems of this hack is that raid1 requires all devices are
in the same size, we have a _require_scratch_dev_pool_equal_size() rule
to check on it, but this hack doesn't do the proper check and test fails
if SCRATCH_LOGDEV is smaller or bigger in size.

If btrfs "-d raid0 -m raid1" is capable to do this writeback error test,
perhaps you can write a new btrfs test and mkfs with "-d raid0 -m raid1"
explicitly. e.g.

...
_require_scratch_dev_pool 2
_require_scratch_dev_pool_equal_size
...
_scratch_mkfs "-d raid0 -m raid1"
...

Thanks,
