[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH] powerpc/spufs: Check file offset before calculating write size in fixed-sized files

Based on an original patch from Roel Kluin <roel.kluin at gmail.com>.

The write size calculated during regs and fpcr writes may currently
go negative. Because size is unsigned, this will wrap, and our
check for EFBIG will fail.

Instead, do the check for EFBIG before subtracting from size.

Roel - How about this? clear up the logic a little rather than casting
