[PATCH 5/7] x86: use read wrappers in kernel loading

[Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@xxxxxxx>]

Replace the unsafe read-loops in the x86 kernel image loading
functions with our safe read_file() and read_in_full() wrappers.
This should fix random fails in kernel image loading, especially
from pipes and sockets.
