Subject: [ 24/52] tools/hv: Check for read/write errors

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>

commit 436473bc2173499ae274d0f50111d1e355006caf upstream.

hv_kvp_daemon currently does not check whether fread() or fwrite()
succeed.  Add the necessary checks.  Also, remove the incorrect use of
feof() before fread().
