[PATCH net] octeontx2-af: Fix an off by one in rvu_dbg_qsize_write()

From: Dan Carpenter <hidden>
Date: 2021-02-19 09:58:14

This code does not allocate enough memory for the NUL terminator so it
ends up putting it one character beyond the end of the buffer.

Fix looks correct, thanks! The interface itself is another matter..
