devmem: fix kmem write bug on memory holes

[ cebbert@redhat.com : backport to 2.6.32 ]

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.
