tracing: Sanitize value returned from write(trace_marker, "...", len)

When userspace code writes non-new-line-terminated string to trace_marker
file, write handler appends new-line and returns number of bytes written
to trace buffer, so
write(fd, "abc", 3) will return 4

That's unexpected and unfortunately it confuses glibc's fprintf function.

Example:
int main() {
  fprintf(stderr, "abc");
  return 0;
}

$ gcc test.c -o test
$ echo mmiotrace > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
$ ./test 2>/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_marker

results in infinite loop:
write(fd, "abc", 3) = 4
write(fd, "", 1) = 0
write(fd, "", 1) = 0
write(fd, "", 1) = 0
write(fd, "", 1) = 0
write(fd, "", 1) = 0
write(fd, "", 1) = 0
write(fd, "", 1) = 0
(...)

...and kernel trace buffer full of empty markers.

Fix it by sanitizing write return value.
