3.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Luciano Coelho <coelho@xxxxxx>

commit 4adf07fba3bd64472921a01aae0e116f9f948b77 upstream.

If the requested firmware file size is 0 bytes in the filesytem, we
will try to vmalloc(0), which causes a warning:

vmalloc: allocation failure: 0 bytes
kworker/1:1: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0xd2
__vmalloc_node_range+0x164/0x208
__vmalloc_node+0x4c/0x58
vmalloc+0x38/0x44
_request_firmware_load+0x220/0x6b0
request_firmware+0x64/0xc8
wl18xx_setup+0xb4/0x570 [wl18xx]
wlcore_nvs_cb+0x64/0x9f8 [wlcore]
request_firmware_work_func+0x94/0x100
process_one_work+0x1d0/0x750
worker_thread+0x184/0x4ac
kthread+0xb4/0xc0

To fix this, check whether the file size is less than or equal to zero
in fw_read_file_contents().
