From: Peng Fan <peng.fan at nxp.com>

This is same issue as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1733817,
but that fix was wrongly partial reverted.

When reading a directory, EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL should be returned when
the supplied buffer is too small, so a use-case is to call
EFI_FILE_PROTOCOL.Read() with *buffer_size=0 and buffer=NULL to
obtain the needed size before doing the actual read.

So remove the check only for directory reading, file reading already
do the check by itself.
