Subject[stable] [PATCH] devmem: fix kmem write bug on memory holes
From: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>

commit c85e9a97c4102ce2e83112da850d838cfab5ab13 upstream.

write_kmem() used to assume vwrite() always return the full buffer length.
However now vwrite() could return 0 to indicate memory hole. This creates
a bug that "buf" is not advanced accordingly.

Fix it to simply ignore the return value, hence the memory hole.
