When error occurs, need return the related error code to let upper
caller know about it.
ppc_md.nvram_size() can return the error code (e.g. core99_nvram_size()
in 'arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/nvram.c').
And when '*ppos >= size', need return -ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
The original related patch: "f9ce299 [PATCH] powerpc: fix large nvram
access"
