Subject: [PATCH 5.9 006/105] tools/bootconfig: Fix to check the write failure correctly

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit a995e6bc0524450adfd6181dfdcd9d0520cfaba5 ]

Fix to check the write(2) failure including partial write
correctly and try to rollback the partial write, because
if there is no BOOTCONFIG_MAGIC string, we can not remove it.

Fixes: 85c46b78da58 ("bootconfig: Add bootconfig magic word for indicating bootconfig explicitly")
