firmware: xilinx: fix debugfs write handler
- Userspace wants to write a string with `len` bytes, not counting the terminating NULL, so we should allocate `len+1` bytes. It looks like the current code relied on having a nullbyte directly behind `kern_buff`, which happens to work reliably as long as `len` isn't one of the kmalloc size classes. - strncpy_from_user() is completely wrong here; userspace is giving us a (not necessarily null-terminated) buffer and its length. strncpy_from_user() is for cases in which we don't know the length. - Don't let broken userspace allocate arbitrarily big kmalloc allocations. Just use memdup_user_nul(), which is designed precisely for things like this.
