Not used, fixed in v9.

The idea here was that we could use crossystem to update the cbmem entry
when it makes changes, however, I do see this as an odd usage of the
ABI, and in v9, I removed writing entirely and all entries are now
read-only.

If tools like crossystem need to maintain changes to this buffer, they
should either maintain that copy themselves in /run or something, or
daemonize and keep it in their process' memory.

cbmem_entry_setup was already a little long, so I just did this for
reading clarity.  If you think it would be clearer just inlined here, I
can change it (let me know).

Done.

Done.
