[PATCH 2/2 V2] mkfs.xfs: don't call blkid_get_topology on regular files

If we encounter a target that's really a regular file,
even without "-d file..." on the cmdline, call
platform_findsizes() instead of blkid_get_topology to
try to discover the "sector size" via the fsgeom() call.

V2: Lose local "isa_file" flag, just switch based on 
(xi->disfile) or (stat works & S_ISREG)
