Subject: [PATCH v3] nvmem: rmem: Fix return value of rmem_read()

reg_read() callback registered with nvmem core expects 0 on success and
a negative value on error but rmem_read() returns the number of bytes
read which is treated as an error at the nvmem core.

This does not break when rmem is accessed using sysfs via
bin_attr_nvmem_read()/write() but causes an error when accessed from
places like nvmem_access_with_keepouts(), etc.

Change to return 0 on success and error in case
memory_read_from_buffer() returns an error or -EIO if bytes read do not
match what was requested.

Fixes: 5a3fa75a4d9c ("nvmem: Add driver to expose reserved memory as nvmem")
