[PATCH] erofs-utils: lib: check readlink() length for symlinks

The symlink path writes inode->i_size bytes from a malloc()'d
readlink() buffer without checking how many bytes readlink()
returned. If the target shortens between lstat() and readlink(),
uninitialised malloc() bytes end up in the image.

Return -EIO on a short readlink().
