mac80211: add NULL terminator to debugfs_netdev write buf
Some debugfs write functions call kstrto* functions, which assume the string is null-terminated. Make it valid by changing ieee80211_if_write() to use static buffer instead of allocating one, and set the last char to NULL. (The write functions try to parse some integer/mac address, so 64 bytes buffer should be enough) Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
