Just create a new partition for the external log, zero it, and tell XFS to use that. You'll have lost any metadata that was in the log, so once you have a new external log run xfs_repair -n to check that everything is consistent. If it isn't, then back up everything you can and run repair for real to fix whatever problems there are.
