sysfs: correctly handle short reads on PREALLOC attrs. [ Upstream commit 65da3484d9be5664f5f7d2378e438bb2794f40b8 ] attributes declared with __ATTR_PREALLOC use sysfs_kf_read() which ignores the 'count' arg. So a 1-byte read request can return more bytes than that. This is seen with the 'dash' shell when 'read' is used on some 'md' sysfs attributes. So only return the 'min' of count and the attribute length.
