[PATCH v3] selftests/mm: ksm-functional-tests: fix partial write handling

[Vineet Agarwal]

Update write() checks to properly detect and handle partial writes.

Previously, partial writes (ret > 0 && ret != len) could be treated
as success because write() does not set errno in this case and the
code returned -errno. This could result in returning 0 and
incorrectly signaling success.

Fix this by verifying that write() returns the full expected length
and treating any mismatch as failure.

Signed-off-by: Vineet Agarwal <agarwal.vineet2006@xxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v3:
- Simplify error handling as suggested by reviewer
- Return -1 when write() does not complete fully
- Rebase patch against base tree
