[PATCH 1/3] batctl: only mark file read successful on read line

The line_ptr is shared globally. It can happen that another function like
parse_hosts_file() allocated the buffer successfully. But the next
getline() in read_file() fails - but keeps the line_ptr valid. In this
case, the function would return a success - even when the buffer contains
stale data.

Instead only set the return value to EXIT_SUCCESS when a single line could
be read.

Fixes: deb324e65044 ("batctl: buffer based reading replaced by line-by-line reading")
