fs: implement kernel_write using __kernel_write
Consolidate the two in-kernel write helpers to make upcoming changes easier. The only difference are the missing call to rw_verify_area in kernel_write, and an access_ok check that doesn't make sense for kernel buffers to start with. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
