fs: simplify the generic_write_sync prototype
The kiocb already has the new position, so use that. The only interesting case is AIO, where we currently don't bother updating ki_pos. We're about to free the kiocb after we're done, so we might as well update it to make everyone's life simpler. While we're at it also return the bytes written argument passed in if we were successful so that the boilerplate error switch code in the callers can go away.
