new_sync_write(): discard ->ki_pos unless the return value is positive
That allows ->write_iter() instances much more convenient life wrt iocb->ki_pos (and fixes several filesystems with borderline POSIX violations when zero-length write succeeds and changes the current position). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
