manual/llio.texi: Comment on write atomicity.
We add Linux-realted comments about the atomicity of write with respect to file offsets. As of Linux 3.14 the file offset update is atomic. That means that multiple threads calling the write syscall can not possibly get the same file offset. Therefore the writes should not overlap and data should not be lost as is required by POSIX.
