Fix some issues in the retrieve secret infrastructure. First, fix the
issue that the loop in uv_find_secret cannot ran more that one round.
Second, fix a potential out of bounds issue in find_secret_in_page.

[PATCH v3 1/2] s390/uv: Fix loop condition in uv_find_secrets

[Steffen Eiden]

Systems with more than 85 UV secrets got -ENOENT for any secret past the
first page.

Fix this by setting the start index at the beginning of the loop in
uv_find_secret() and not at the end. First test if there are more
secrets left by comparing start_idx with list->next_secret_idx, and then
set the start index to the next secret index.

[PATCH v3 2/2] s390/uv: Prevent potential out-of-bounds read

[Steffen Eiden]

When the system has more than 85 secrets, the uv_secret_list struct
array only holds up to 85 items per page, resulting in an out of bounds
read in find_secret_in_page if the targeted secret is in the next page
or not stored at all.

Fix this by looping over the number of stored secrets which is the
per sub-list count of stored secrets and not the overall count.
