Subject[PATCH 4/5] lib/mpi: mpi_read_from_buffer(): sanitize short buffer printk
Date
The first two bytes of the input buffer encode its expected length and
mpi_read_from_buffer() prints a console message if the given buffer is too
short.

However, there are some oddities with how this message is printed:
- It is printed at the default loglevel. This is different from the
one used in the case that the first two bytes' value is unsupportedly
large, i.e. KERN_INFO.
- The format specifier '%d' is used for unsigned ints.
- It prints the values of nread and *ret_nread. This is redundant since
the former is always the latter + 1.

Clean this up as follows:
- Use pr_info() rather than printk() with no loglevel.
- Use the format specifiers '%u' in place if '%d'.
- Do not print the redundant 'nread' but the more helpful 'nbytes' value.
