Fix infinite loop when fopencookie custom write returns 0 on error
The man page for fopencookie prescribes that custom write functions
should return 0 on error (and should definitely not return a negative
value) [1].
However, the uClibc implementation expects a negative return value in
case of an error (libc/stdio/_WRITE.c). If the write function returns 0
on error, we drop into an infinite loop if the error persists.
This patch wraps the user supplied write function such that a 0 return
value is converted to -1. errno is first set to EAGAIN such that if the
custom write function does not set errno in case of error, this is
treated as a "soft" error.
Custom write functions that cater towards uClibc and _do_ return a
negative value are not affected.
If no custom write function is supplied, set errno to EINVAL such that
this condition is treated as a "hard" error. Previously the behaviour
depended on whether the last error before the write happened to be a "hard"
or a "soft" error.
