uml: fix console writing bugs

Browse Source 
The previous console cleanup patch switched generic_read and generic_write
from calling os_{read,write}_file to calling read and write directly.  Because
the calling convention is different, they now need to get any error from errno
rather than the return value.  I did this for generic_read, but forgot about
generic_write.

While chasing some output corruption, I noticed that line_write was
unnecessarily calling flush_buffer, and deleted it.  I don't understand why,
but the corruption disappeared.  This is unneeded because there already is a
perfectly good mechanism for finding out when the host output device has some
room to write data - there is an interrupt that comes in when writes can
happen again.  line_write calling flush_buffer seemed to just be an attempt to
opportunistically get some data out to the host.

I also made write_chan short-circuit calling into the host-level code for
zero-length writes.  Calling libc write with a length of zero conflated write
not being able to write anything with asking it not to write anything.  Better
to just cut it off as soon as possible.
