File dmidecode-03-let-read_file-return-the-actual-data-size.patch of Package dmidecode

Subject: Let read_file return the actual data size
Git-commit: de9a74e1c60210bee229fcf55b1678a99d1b44dd

Let read_file return the actual data size to the caller. This gives
the caller the possibility to check that the data size is as expected
and large enough for the purpose, and report to the user if not.
