debug_level_proc_write() returns the length of the string it parsed. A
write that starts with a NUL byte thus returns 0 and writers that use
stdio retry it forever. Return the number of bytes that were written
instead, which also stops writes longer than the 11 bytes it looks at
from coming up short.
