fs: fix data-loss on error
New buffers against uptodate pages are simply be marked uptodate, while the
buffer_new bit remains set. This causes error-case code to zero out parts of
those buffers because it thinks they contain stale data: wrong, they are
actually uptodate so this is a data loss situation.
Fix this by actually clearning buffer_new and marking the buffer dirty. It
makes sense to always clear buffer_new before setting a buffer uptodate.
