[RFC PATCH v1] efivarfs: define integrity_read method

[Mimi Zohar]

This patch defines simple_read_iter_from_buffer(), replaces the
existing efivarfs ->read method with ->read_iter method, and defines
an ->integrity_read file operation method to read data for integrity
hash collection.

(Posting separately for review, before being squashed with the others.)

Changelog v1:
- totally re-written based on Al's comments, containing source code.
