Commit 902223bdbbf2: "defrag: require extents support for ext4 defrag"
added a test to make sure the ext4 file system has extents enabled by
testing the scratch device.  Unfortunately at the time when
_require_defrag is run, the scratch file system hasn't been
initialized yet by the test, so its contents are undefined.

If the previous test explicitly creates a file system with extents
disabled on $SCRATCH_DEV (such as ext4/306), then subsequent tests
(e.g., ext4/307 and ext4/306) will refuse to run.

Fix this by testing $TEST_DEV instead of $SCRATCH_DEV.
