Not entirely sure what triggers it, but with venus build as kernel
module and in initrd, we hit this crash:

The problem is that in the error case, we've incremented the data ptr
but not decremented rem_bytes, and keep reading (presumably garbage)
until eventually we go beyond the end of the buffer.

Instead, on first error, we should probably just bail out.  Other
option is to increment read_bytes by sizeof(u32) before the switch,
rather than only accounting for the ptype header in the non-error
case.  Note that in this case it is HFI_ERR_SYS_INVALID_PARAMETER,
ie. an unrecognized/unsupported parameter, so interpreting the next
word as a property type would be bogus.  The other error cases are
due to truncated buffer, so there isn't likely to be anything valid
to interpret in the remainder of the buffer.  So just bailing seems
like a reasonable solution.
