[PATCH v2] 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) would return
-errno, but write() does not set errno in this case. This could
result in returning 0 and incorrectly signaling success.

Fix this by:
  - returning -errno only on actual failures (ret < 0)
  - returning -EIO when a partial write is detected

This ensures partial writes are treated as errors and prevents
false success reporting in tests.

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

Changes in v2:
- Fix incorrect use of -errno on partial writes
- Return -EIO when write() completes partially
