efi_pstore: Add a format check for an existing variable name at reading time

[Issue]

a format of variable name has been updated to type, id, count and ctime
to support holding multiple logs.

Format of current variable name
  dump-type0-1-2-12345678

  type:0
  id:1
  count:2
  ctime:12345678

On the other hand, if an old variable name before being updated
remains, users can't read it via /dev/pstore.

Format of old variable name
  dump-type0-1-12345678

  type:0
  id:1
  ctime:12345678

[Solution]

This patch add a format check for the old variable name in a read callback
to make it readable.
