[Why] The fault injection code may have a buffer underflow, which may cause memory corruption by writing a newline character before the base address of the array. This can happen if the fault->opcodes bitmap is empty. Since a file in debugfs is created with an empty bitmap, it is possible to read the file before any set bits are written to it. [How] Fix this by checking that the size variable is greater than zero, otherwise return zero as the number of bytes read. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace.
