[PATCH] logfs: clarify MTD dependency

After a change to the way that composite modules work, we get
a logfs build error:

fs/built-in.o: In function `logfs_mount':
:(.text+0x139d34): undefined reference to `logfs_get_sb_mtd'
fs/built-in.o: In function `logfs_get_sb_bdev':
:(.text+0x13aa08): undefined reference to `logfs_get_sb_mtd'

This patch avoids the error by changing the dependencies of
logfs in a way that we can no longer configure logfs as built-in
when the MTD core is a loadable module, while leaving the
dependency to require at least one of MTD or BLOCK to be
enabled.
