Currently, when a block backend is attached to a m25p80 device and the
associated file size does not match the flash model, QEMU complains
with the error message "failed to read the initial flash content".
This is confusing for the user.

Use blk_check_size_and_read_all() instead of blk_pread() to improve
the reported error.
