Consistently use read_file() when reading from a dump file
Use read_file() instead of mem_chunk() to read the entry point from a
dump file. This is faster, and consistent with how we then read the
actual DMI table from that dump file.
This made no functional difference so far, which is why it went
unnoticed for years. But now that a file type check was added to the
mem_chunk() function, we must stop using it to read from regular
files.
This will again allow root to use the --from-dump option.
