Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] gpu: nova-core: gsp: fix length of received
 messages

The size of messages' payload is miscalculated, leading to extra data
passed to the message handler. While this is not a problem with our
current set of commands, others with a variable-length payload may
misbehave. Fix this by introducing a method returning the payload size
and using it.
