util/nvmutil: Further reduce memory usage
Allocate memory based on nf instead of partsize.
nf is the number of bytes actually read from each
part of the file.
Now if the user is running setmac for example,
256 bytes of memory will be allocated regardless
of gbe file size, whereas it would have previously
allocated 8KB, 16KB or 128KB depending on the file.
