Christoph Hellwig 81238b2cff fs: implement kernel_write using __kernel_write

Consolidate the two in-kernel write helpers to make upcoming changes
easier.  The only difference are the missing call to rw_verify_area
in kernel_write, and an access_ok check that doesn't make sense for
kernel buffers to start with.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
