hex2bin: fix access beyond string end

If we pass too short string to "hex2bin" (and the string size without
the terminating NUL character is even), "hex2bin" reads one byte after
the terminating NUL character.  This patch fixes it.

Note that hex_to_bin returns -1 on error and hex2bin return -EINVAL on
error - so we can't just return the variable "hi" or "lo" on error.
This inconsistency may be fixed in the next merge window, but for the
purpose of fixing this bug, we just preserve the existing behavior and
return -1 and -EINVAL.
