[OE-core] [PATCH] combo-layer: python3: fix UnicodeDecodeError

check_patch function opens patch file in text mode. This causes
python3 to throw exception when calling readline():
    UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa7 in position
                        NNNN: invalid start byte

Opening file in binary mode and using binary type instead of strings
should fix this.
