[PATCH 2/2] partitions/aix: append null character to print data from disk

From: Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <hidden>
Date: 2018-07-26 01:46:54
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: block layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds

Even if properly initialized, the lvname array (i.e., strings)
is read from disk, and might contain corrupt data (e.g., lack
the null terminating character for strings).

So, make sure the partition name string used in pr_warn() has
the null terminating character.

Fixes: 6ceea22bbbc8 ("partitions: add aix lvm partition support files")
