[PATCH 5/5] 9p: Use length of data written to the server in preference to error

[David Howells]

In v9fs_upload_to_server(), we pass the error to netfslib to terminate the
subreq rather than the amount of data written - even if we did actually
write something.

Further, we assume that the write is always entirely done if successful -
but it might have been partially complete - as returned by
p9_client_write(), but we ignore that.

Fix this by indicating the amount written by preference and only returning
the error if we didn't write anything.

(We might want to return both in future if both are available as this
might be useful as to whether we retry or not.)
