Fix assertion failure in bg flush (#7362)

Summary:
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/7340 reports and reproduces an assertion failure caused by a combination of the following:
- atomic flush is disabled.
- a column family can appear multiple times in the flush queue at the same time. This behavior was introduced in release 5.17.

Consequently, it is possible that two flushes race with each other. One bg flush thread flushes all memtables. The other thread calls `FlushMemTableToOutputFile()` afterwards, and hits the assertion error below.

```
  assert(cfd->imm()->NumNotFlushed() != 0);
  assert(cfd->imm()->IsFlushPending());
```

Fix this by reverting the behavior. In non-atomic-flush case, a column family can appear in the flush queue at most once at the same time.

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/7362

Test Plan:
make check
Also run stress test successfully for 10 times.
```
make crash_test
```
