Joern Engel c6d3830140 [LogFS] Only write journal if dirty
This prevents unnecessary journal writes.  More importantly it prevents
an oops due to a journal write on failed mount.

Joern Engel 9421502b4f [LogFS] Fix bdev erases
Erases for block devices were always just emulated by writing 0xff.
Some time back the write was removed and only the page cache was
changed to 0xff.  Superficialy a good idea with two problems:
1. Touching the page cache isn't necessary either.
2. However, writing out 0xff _is_ necessary for the journal.  As the
   journal is scanned linearly, an old non-overwritten commit entry
   can be used on next mount and cause havoc.

This should fix both aspects.
