I was going for a convenience shortcut where a user can get the whole
thing without needing to worry about what the memdev's lsa_size is, but
in hindsight, this doesn't make much sense. The API can take length to
be literal - and not do any work for length == 0, and the cli can have
the convenience function of implying a full label read if no length
option was supplied.

I think the API between all three of these should be consistent in how
'length' is treated. It would make sense to zero everything if the
length were removed from the API entirely, but if it is part of it,
then we should just do what read/write do.

Yep will change.

Yep makes sense, I'll drop this.
