[PATCH v2 11/51] sparc: led: consume the whole write

led_proc_write() looks at the first eight bytes of a write and returns
that many, so a writer that loops until everything is written, stdio
does, sends the rest as a second command. That one is unknown and
switches the LED off. Return the whole count, the rest is ignored.

Fixes: ee1858d3122d ("[SPARC]: Add sun4m LED driver.")
