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().
