LoadPin: Ignore the "contents" argument of the LSM hooks

[ Upstream commit 1a17e5b513ceebf21100027745b8731b4728edf7 ]

LoadPin only enforces the read-only origin of kernel file reads. Whether
or not it was a partial read isn't important. Remove the overly
conservative checks so that things like partial firmware reads will
succeed (i.e. reading a firmware header).

Fixes: 2039bda1fa8d ("LSM: Add "contents" flag to kernel_read_file hook")
