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.

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