[PATCH v2 03/18] firmware_loader: EFI firmware loader must handle pre-allocated buffer

The EFI platform firmware fallback would clobber any pre-allocated
buffers. Instead, correctly refuse to reallocate when too small (as
already done in the sysfs fallback), or perform allocation normally
when needed.

Fixes: e4c2c0ff00ec ("firmware: Add new platform fallback mechanism and firm ware_request_platform()")

To aid in backporting, this change is made before moving
kernel_read_file() to separate header/source files.
