The 'Coverity Scan' found a problem in new write_once() function:

272             size_t bytes;
273             bytes = do_pwrite(file->fd, offset, count, count, pwritev2_flags);
>>>     CID 1420710:  Control flow issues  (NO_EFFECT)
>>>     This less-than-zero comparison of an unsigned value is never true. "bytes < 0UL".
274             if (bytes < 0)
275                     return -1;

That's unreasonable. do_pwrite return 'ssize_t' type value, which can
be less than zero, but we use a 'size_t' to get the return value. So
change the size_t to ssize_t for it can store the return value
correctly.

By the chance, correct all 'ssize_t' type problems in pwrite/pread
related functions.

Actrually, this's V3. V3 did more changes in io/pread.c, fix 'ssize_t'
problem in io/pread.c (V2 only did in io/pwrite.c).

Thanks,
Zorro

I may rewrite the changelog a bit because this now touches much
more than write_once, but the content seems fine:
