fs: sysfs: don't pass count == 0 to bin file readers
If count == 0 bytes are requested by a reader, sysfs_kf_bin_read() deliberately returns 0 without passing a potentially harmful value to some externally defined underlying battr->read() function. However in case of (pos == size && count) the next clause always sets count to 0 and this value is handed over to battr->read(). The change intends to make obsolete (and remove later) a redundant sanity check in battr->read(), if it is present, or add more protection to struct bin_attribute users, who does not care about input arguments.
