Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/nvram: Fix Segmentation fault issue in nvram-size.

nvram-size option results in segmentation fault when the user
specifies value larger than the default nvram size

Without the patch:
[root@xxx ~]# nvram --nvram-size 1048592
nvram: WARNING: expected 1048592 bytes, but only read 15360!
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Segmentation fault is caused because the phead->length is becoming 0.
And because of this the p_start doesn't get updated which makes the
while loop run infinitely resulting in segmentation fault.
This patch adds a condition check for phead->length to avoid infinite
while loop.

With the patch:
[root@xxx src]# ./nvram --nvram-size 1048592
./nvram: WARNING: expected 1048592 bytes, but only read 15360!
[root@xxx src]# ./nvram --nvram-size 268435456
./nvram: WARNING: expected 268435456 bytes, but only read 15360!
[root@xxx src]#
