commit ba87977a49913129962af8ac35b0e13e0fa4382d upstream.

Commit b7ce40cff0b9 ("kernfs: cache atomic_write_len in
kernfs_open_file") changes type of local variable 'len' from ssize_t
to size_t. This change caused that the *ppos value is updated also
when the previous write callback failed.

Mentioned snippet:
...
len = ops->write(...); <- return value can be negative
...
if (len > 0)           <- true here in this case
        *ppos += len;
...

If you edit a kernfs backed file with vi(1), you see an ugly error
message when you write the file because vi tries to fsync(2) the
file after writing, which fails.

We have noop_fsync() for this, use it.

current_fs_time() uses struct super_block* as an argument.
As per Linus's suggestion, this is changed to take struct
inode* as a parameter instead. This is because the function
is primarily meant for vfs inode timestamps.
Also the function was renamed as per Arnd's suggestion.

Change all calls to current_fs_time() to use the new
current_time() function instead. current_fs_time() will be
deleted.
