Error: ice: Cannot read beyond the region size.

shadow-ram behaves the same. The regions are created with those sizes, so
a read ending on the size is the whole region and has to be allowed.
ice_read_flat_nvm() uses > for its own Shadow RAM check, and so does
ixgbe, which grew its region support from this code.
