Subject: [PATCH 2/5] firmware: arm_scmi: Harden shared memory access in fetch_response

A misbheaving SCMI platform firmware could reply with out-of-spec messages,
shorter than the mimimum size comprising a header and a status field.

Harden shmem_fetch_response to properly truncate such a bad messages.

Fixes: 5c8a47a5a91d ("firmware: arm_scmi: Make scmi core independent of the transport type")
