fuzz: fix sparse memory access in the DMA callback

The code mistakenly relied on address_space_translate to store the
length remaining until the next memory-region. We care about this
because when there is RAM or sparse-memory neighboring on an MMIO
region, we should only write up to the border, to prevent inadvertently
invoking MMIO handlers within the DMA callback.

However address_space_translate_internal only stores the length until
the end of the MemoryRegion if memory_region_is_ram(mr). Otherwise
the *len is left unmodified. This caused some false-positive issues,
where the fuzzer found a way to perform a nested MMIO write through a
DMA callback on an [address, length] that started within sparse memory
and spanned some device MMIO regions.

To fix this, write to sparse memory in small chunks of
memory_access_size (similar to the underlying address_space_write code),
which will prevent accidentally hitting MMIO handlers through large
writes.
