perf util: Add const modifier to buf in "writen" function
Make buf in helper function "writen" constant to simplify the life of its callers.
This requires to hack a cast of buf prior to passing it to "ion" which is simpler than the alternative of reworking the "ion" function to provide a read and a write paths, the latter with constant buf argument.
