uml: convert libc layer to call read and write
This patch converts calls in the os layer to os_{read,write}_file to calls directly to libc read() and write() where it is clear that the I/O buffer is in the kernel. We can do that here instead of calling os_{read,write}_file_k since we are in libc code and can call libc directly. With the change in the calls, error handling needs to be changed to refer to errno directly rather than the return value of the call. CATCH_EINTR wrappers were also added where needed.
