nfsd: fix hung up of nfs client while sync write data to nfs server

Commit 'Short write in nfsd becomes a full write to the client'
(31dec2538e45e9fff2007ea1f4c6bae9f78db724) broken the sync write.
With the following commands to reproduce:

  $ mount -t nfs -o sync 192.168.0.21:/nfsroot /mnt
  $ cd /mnt
  $ echo aaaa > temp.txt

Then nfs client is hung up.

In SYNC mode the server alaways return the write count 0 to the
client. This is because the value of host_err in nfsd_vfs_write()
will be overwrite in SYNC mode by 'host_err=nfsd_sync(file);',
and then we return host_err(which is now 0) as write count.

This patch fixed the problem.
