fix: fw_env: Prevent writing error message on special files, which don't support fsync
According to fsync specification [1] some special files (e.g., a pipe, FIFO, or socket) don't support synchronization and return either EROFS or EINVAL. On the linux side the sys_fsync -> do_fsync() checks if the requested file has f_op->fsync defined. If not it returns EINVAL [2]. This commit prevents writing error messages for files (devices), which do not support fsync().
