Fix deserializing context with missing profile

k5_internalize_context() tolerates EINVAL and ENOENT failures from
profile_ser_internalize(), which should allow it to continue if a
configuration file (such as /etc/krb5.conf) is missing in the
deserializing process.  However, profile_ser_internalize() only
updates the caller's buffer pointer if the profile was initialized, so
k5_internalize_context() attempts to read its trailer from the
serialized profile data and fails.  Change profile_ser_internalize()
to update the caller's buffer pointer once it has consumed a whole
profile serialization, whether or not profile_init() succeeds.
