The block-write function of the core was not used because there was no
client-struct to use. However, in this case it seems apropriate to use a
temporary client struct. Because we are answering a request we recieved
when being a client ourselves. So, convert the code to use a temporary
client and use the block-write function of the I2C core.

Changes since RFC:
* don't use stack but kmemdup. No complaints from buildbots
