Subject: fs/affs: bugfix: enable writes on OFS disks
We called unconditionally affs_bread_ino() with create 0 resulting in
"error (device ...): get_block(): strange block request 0" when trying to
write on AFFS OFS format.
This patch adds create parameter to that function.
0 for affs_readpage_ofs()
1 for affs_write_begin_ofs()
