[PATCH] adjust /dev/{kmem,mem,port} write handlers
The /dev/mem and /dev/kmem write handlers weren't fully POSIX compliant in
that they wouldn't always force the file pointer to be updated when
returning success status.
The /dev/port write handler was inconsistent with the /dev/mem and
/dev/kmem handlers in that when encountering a -EFAULT condition after
already having written a number of items it would return -EFAULT rather
than the number of bytes written.
