EOF in next should return the already parsed, valid structures

[michaelbeaumont]

Due to changes in the latest LTS and thus in v1.7.6 the DMI sysfs file will EOF where previously it would continue on and be decoded without error. This currently leads to errors, for example at:

go-smbios/smbios/internal/github.com/digitalocean/go-smbios/smbios/decoder.go

Line 134 in c526764

if _, err := io.ReadFull(d.br, d.b[:headerLen]); err != nil {

which with Talos manifests as:

controller failed {"component": "controller-runtime", "controller": "hardware.SystemInfoController", "error": "failed to decode structures: next error: error reading header: EOF"}

which can lead to errors decrypting partitions encrypted in v1.7.5.

I think we can do what Linux does in this case and be lenient and just return the structures we've already parsed instead of nil here.

So my understanding is that DMI file which was previously not present would be present as Linux is more tolerant?
