Jan Höppner 0eac97542d libutil/util_file: Handle over-read in util_file_read_fd()
In certain situations util_file_read_fd_buf() might return a larger
buffer than printable characters were read (e.g. a file was padded with
zeros). This can lead to util_file_read_fd() returning NULL with a freed
buffer even though a certain amount of printable characters were read.

This behaviour causes a regression introduced with commit 9efd1df31d
("ipl_tools: Refactor read helper using util_file_read_text_file()") in
ipl_tools were the scp_data sysfs attribute is padded with 0 to fit an 8
byte alignment required by the architecture.

Fix this by comparing the size read with the actual string length and
use the smaller value for further processing.
