romfs has a superblock field that limits the size of the filesystem; data
beyond that limit is never accessed.
romfs_dev_read() fetches a caller-supplied number of bytes from the
backing device. It returns 0 on success or an error code on failure;
therefore, its API can't represent short reads, it's all-or-nothing.
However, when romfs_dev_read() detects that the requested operation would
cross the filesystem size limit, it currently silently truncates the
requested number of bytes. This e.g. means that when the content of a
file with size 0x1000 starts one byte before the filesystem size limit,
->readpage() will only fill a single byte of the supplied page while
leaving the rest uninitialized, leaking that uninitialized memory to
userspace.
Fix it by returning an error code instead of truncating the read when the
requested read operation would go beyond the end of the filesystem.
