perf util: Add const modifier to buf in "writen" function

Make buf in helper function "writen" constant to simplify the life of
its callers.

This requires to hack a cast of buf prior to passing it to "ion" which
is simpler than the alternative of reworking the "ion" function to
provide a read and a write paths, the latter with constant buf argument.
