It may be that the offset of the first program header lies inside the mdt's
filesize, in this case the loader would incorrectly assume that the bins
were not split and in this scenario the firmware authentication fails.
This change updates the logic used by the mdt loader to understand whether
the firmware images are split or not. It figures this out by checking if
each programs header's segment lies within the file or not.

V6: Fixed format error in qcom_mdt_bins_are_split function definition and
Correcting the s-o-b by keeping Melody as the co-developer.

V5: Removes extra empty lines from V4 and fixed the S-o-b by keeping Melody's
name first.

V4: Change the commit text to include the scenario in which we see the problem.

V3: separated out from [1] and includes changes addressing comments
from that patch set:
1. Change the checking condition for non-split firmwares to
(phr->p_filesz && !issplit) on line #352 for better readability.
2. Removes an unncecessary check for split bins in qcom_mdt_read_metadata()/
