Subject: [PATCH] configfs: Fix the read and write iterators

Commit 7fe1e79b59ba ("configfs: implement the .read_iter and .write_iter
methods") changed the simple_read_from_buffer() calls into copy_to_iter()
calls and the simple_write_to_buffer() calls into copy_from_iter() calls.
The simple*buffer() methods update the file offset (*ppos) but the read and
write iterators not yet. Make the read and write iterators update the file
offset (iocb->ki_pos).

This patch has been tested as follows:

 # modprobe target_core_user
 # dd if=/sys/kernel/config/target/dbroot bs=1
/var/target
12+0 records in
12+0 records out
12 bytes copied, 9.5539e-05 s, 126 kB/s

 # cd /sys/kernel/config/acpi/table
 # mkdir test
 # cd test
 # dmesg -c >/dev/null; printf 'SSDT\x8\0\0\0abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' | dd of=aml bs=1; dmesg -c
34+0 records in
34+0 records out
34 bytes copied, 0.010627 s, 3.2 kB/s
[  261.056551] ACPI configfs: invalid table length
