[PATCH 3/3] Revert "scripts/common: fix write_file when opened with mmap"

Hi Sascha,

sorry for responding this late, but we are still getting the same errors 
as before when using bareboximd with these three patches.

Are you sure we can revert this patch? The file can still be opened in 
bareboximd with mmap(), and then be written with this write_file(), 
which fails with the same error:

> Cannot write to barebox.bin: Bad address
> CRC: write crc token to barebox.bin failed: -14
> Bad address

Best regards,
Andrej
