fw_cfg: Don't set callback_opaque NULL in fw_cfg_modify_bytes_read()

Browse Source 
On arm/virt platform, Chen Xiang reported a Guest crash while
attempting the below steps,

1. Launch the Guest with nvdimm=on
2. Hot-add a NVDIMM dev
3. Reboot
4. Guest boots fine.
5. Reboot again.
6. Guest boot fails.

QEMU_EFI reports the below error:
ProcessCmdAddPointer: invalid pointer value in "etc/acpi/tables"
OnRootBridgesConnected: InstallAcpiTables: Protocol Error

Debugging shows that on first reboot(after hot adding NVDIMM),
Qemu updates the etc/table-loader len,

qemu_ram_resize()
  fw_cfg_modify_file()
     fw_cfg_modify_bytes_read()

And in fw_cfg_modify_bytes_read() we set the "callback_opaque" for
the key entry to NULL. Because of this, on the second reboot,
virt_acpi_build_update() is called with a NULL "build_state" and
returns without updating the ACPI tables. This seems to be
upsetting the firmware.

To fix this, don't change the callback_opaque in fw_cfg_modify_bytes_read().
