PATCH 1/1 mke2fs: fix up topo complaints on regular files

mkfsing a plain file would lead to a warning about being unable to determine geometry; we should just skip the topology-getting if we see that we have a regular file.

This was breaking "make check" but I had missed it since I inadvertently stopped running the checks during the Fedora RPM build.

Also, add a newline to the warning.

Thanks, applied.
