lsvpd: Add workaround for std::ios_base::failure' issue
    
    Recently on P9 we started seeing below error.
    
    #vpdupdate
    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::ios_base::failure'
    what():  basic_filebuf::underflow error reading the file
    Aborted (core dumped)
    
    It turns out that we needed c++ fix. Lets add workaround so that we
    don't crash.
