libminixfs: do not flush blocks that are in use

Browse source 
This removes an implicit requirement for the way the libminixfs API is
to be used, namely that a block is to be marked as dirty only once its
contents have been fully updated, within a single get_block/put_block
window.  The requirement may not be appropriate for all file systems.
