basic/efivars: do not return EIO if an efivar read is shorten than fstat size

Browse Source 
On my machine stat returns size 22, but only 20 bytes are read:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderTimeInitUSec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=22, ...}) = 0
read(3, "\6\0\0\0", 4)                  = 4
read(3, "7\0001\0001\0003\0005\0002\0007\0\0\0", 18) = 16
Failed to read LoaderTimeInitUSec: Input/output error

Let's just accept that the kernel is returning inconsistent results.
It seems to happen two only two variables on my machine:
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderTimeInitUSec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderTimeMenuUSec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f
so it might be related to the way we write them.
