[PATCH v3 04/12] net/ice: avoid reading past end of PFA

[Soumyadeep Hore <soumyadeep.hore@intel.com>]

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com>

The ice_get_pfa_module_tlv() function iterates over the Preserved Fields
Area to read data from the Shadow RAM, including the Part Board Assembly
data, among others.

If the specific TLV being requested is not found in the current NVM, the
code will read past the end of the PFA, misinterpreting the last word of
the PFA and the word just after the PFA as another TLV. This typically
results in one extra iteration before the length check of the while loop is
triggered.
