selftests/mm: ksm-functional-tests: fix partial write handling
Update write() checks to properly detect and handle partial writes. Previously, the write() calls used <= 0 to detect failure. This condition is never true for partial writes (ret > 0 but ret < len), so partial writes were silently treated as success. Fix this by verifying that write() returns the full expected length and treating any mismatch as failure.
