fd_write_vmcore() will indefinitely spin for a non-blocking file-descriptor that would block. However, if the fd is non-blocking, how does it make sense to spin?
Change this behavior to return an error instead. Note that this can only happen with an fd provided by a management application. The fd opened internally by dump-guest-memory is blocking. While there, also fix 'writen_size' variable name.
