This is the non-ndb part of the patch.

The return value of mysql_bin_log.write was ignored by most callers,
which may lead to inconsistent on master and slave if the transaction
was committed while the binlog was not correctly written. If
my_error() is call in mysql_bin_log.write, this could also lead to
assertion issue if my_ok() or my_error() is called after.

This fixed the problem by let the caller to check and handle the
return value of mysql_bin_log.write. This patch only adresses the
simple cases.
