[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.
