------------------------------------

During VFS releasing the minix's superblock, kernel will calls
sync_filesystem() to write out and wait upon all dirty data
associated with this superblock.

Yet the problem is that this write may fail, then kernel will
clear BH_Uptodate flag in superblock's struct buffer_head
in end_buffer_async_write(). When kernel returns from
sync_filesystem() and calls sop->put_super()
(which is minix_put_super()), it will triggers the warning
for struct buffer_head is not uptodate in mark_buffer_dirty().

This patch solves it by handling sync_filesystem() write error
in minix_put_super(), before calling mark_buffer_dirty()
