[media] lirc_dev: fixes in lirc_dev_fop_read()
This makes several changes but they're in one function and sort of
related:
"buf" was leaked on error. The leak if we try to read an invalid
length is the main concern because it could be triggered over and
over.
If the copy_to_user() failed, then the original code returned the
number of bytes remaining. read() is supposed to be the opposite way,
where we return the number of bytes copied. I changed it to just return
-EFAULT on errors.
Also I changed the debug output from "-EFAULT" to just "<fail>" because
it isn't -EFAULT necessarily. And since we go though that path if the
length is invalid now, there was another debug print that I removed.
