rust: uaccess: add UserSliceWriter::write_slice_partial()

The existing write_slice() method is a wrapper around copy_to_user() and
expects the user buffer to be larger than the source buffer.

However, userspace may split up reads in multiple partial operations
providing an offset into the source buffer and a smaller user buffer.

In order to support this common case, provide a helper for partial
writes.
