[PATCH v3 10/13] env: Make return value of env_get_f() behave like sprintf() on success

["Marek Behún" <kabel@kernel.org>]

From: Marek Behún <marek.behun@nic.cz>

Currently the env_get_f() function's return value behaves weirdly: it
returns the number of bytes written into `buf`, but whether this is
excluding the terminating NULL-byte or including it depends on whether
there was enough space in `buf`.

Change the function to always return the actual length of the value of
the environment variable (excluding the terminating NULL-byte) on
success. This makes it behave like sprintf().

All users of this function in U-Boot are compatible with this change.
