misc: mic: Fix for double fetch security bug in VOP driver

commit 9bf292bfca94694a721449e3fd752493856710f6 upstream.

The MIC VOP driver does two successive reads from user space to read a
variable length data structure. Kernel memory corruption can result if
the data structure changes between the two reads. This patch disallows
the chance of this happening.
