flush_buffer() is a thin wrapper around write_in_full() with two very
confusing properties:

* It runs a loop to handle short reads, ensuring that we write
  everything.  But that is precisely what write_in_full() does!

* It checks for a return value of 0 from write_in_full(), which cannot
  happen: it returns this value only if count=0, but flush_buffer()
  will never call write_in_full() in this case.

Remove it.

Much easier than worrying about the "disk full?" message.
