When __nvmem_cell_entry_write() is called for an nvmem cell that does
not need bit shifting, it requires that the len parameter exactly
matches the nvmem cell size. However, when the nvmem cell has a nonzero
bit_offset, it was skipping this check.

Accepting values of len larger than the cell size results in
nvmem_cell_prepare_write_buffer() trying to write past the end of a heap
buffer that it allocates. Add a check to avoid that problem and instead
return -EINVAL when len doesn't match the number of bits expected by the
nvmem cell when bit_offset is nonzero.

This check uses cell->nbits in order to allow providing the smaller size
to cells that are shifted into another byte by bit_offset. For example,
a cell with nbits=8 and nonzero bit_offset would have bytes=2 but should
accept a 1-byte write here, although no current callers depend on this.

Fixes: 69aba7948cbe ("nvmem: Add a simple NVMEM framework for consumers")
