    NTB: ntb_tool: uninitialized heap data in tool_fn_write()

    The call to:

            ret = simple_write_to_buffer(buf, size, offp, ubuf, size);

    will return success if it is able to write even one byte to "buf".
    The value of "*offp" controls which byte.  This could result in
    reading uninitialized data when we do the sscanf() on the next line.

    This code is not really desigined to handle partial writes where
    *offp is non-zero and the "buf" is preserved and re-used between writes.
    Just ban partial writes and replace the simple_write_to_buffer() with
    copy_from_user().
