Subject: [PATCH 14/17] tty: srmcons: use 'count' directly in srmcons_do_write()

Similarly to 'buf' in the previous patch, there is no need to have a
separate counter ('remaining') in srmcons_do_write(). 'count' can be
used directly which simplifies the code a bit.

Note that the type of the current count ('c') is changed from 'long' to
'size_t' so that:
1) it is prepared for the upcoming change of 'count's type, and
2) is unsigned.
