[Revised PATCH v2] hv: kvp: Avoid reading past allocated blocks from KVP file

[Long Li <longli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Paul Meyer <Paul.Meyer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

While reading in more than one block (50) of KVP records, the allocation
goes per block, but the reads used the total number of allocated records
(without resetting the pointer/stream). This causes the records buffer to
overrun when the refresh reads more than one block over the previous
capacity (e.g. reading more than 100 KVP records whereas the in-memory
database was empty before).

Fix this by reading the correct number of KVP records from file each time.

Changes since v1:
1. Properly wrapped comment texts.
2. Added the 2nd Signed-off-by.
