#1689663 — [PATCH v6 04/16] perf util: add const modifier to buf in "writen" function

Make buf in helper function "writen" constant to simplify
the life of its callers.

This requires to hack a cast of buf prior to passing it to "ion"
which is simpler than the alternative of reworking the "ion"
function to provide a read and a write paths, the latter with
constant buf argument.
