Similarly to 'buf' in the previous patch, there is no need to have a separate counter ('remaining') in srmcons_do_write(). 'count' can be used directly which simplifies the code a bit. Note that the type of the current count ('c') is changed from 'long' to 'size_t' so that: 1) it is prepared for the upcoming change of 'count's type, and 2) is unsigned.
