During linux build process the header size is computed including the BSS
whereas it's removed when creating the uncompressed image. Therefore the
size of the uncompressed image on filesystem will be smaller than the
size specified in the header.
This causes issues when loading the kernel image from the SPL (as in
falcon boot) with spl_load since it compares the read file size from the
FS to the header size form the image. Which leads to the following check
in `include/spl_load.h` failing to -EIO when loading kernel image:
return read < spl_image->size ? -EIO : 0;
Therefore we should return the header size back to spl_load instead of
the file size in falcon boot when not loading a FIT image.
