cxl/pci: Handle excessive CDAT length
If the length in the CDAT header is larger than the concatenation of the header and all table entries, then the CDAT exposed to user space contains trailing null bytes. Not every consumer may be able to handle that. Per Postel's robustness principle, "be liberal in what you accept" and silently reduce the cached length to avoid exposing those null bytes.
