Use syscall directly in write_validate to avoid ASAN errors

ASAN will complain about this write call with the following error:

ERROR: AddressSanitizer: stack-buffer-underflow on address
HINT: this may be a false positive if your program uses some custom stack unwind mechanism or swapcontext

This is similar to what google's abseil does to work around the issue.
