[ 103/117] ethtool: Null-terminate filename passed to ethtool_ops::flash_device

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 786f528119722f564a22ad953411374e06116333 upstream.

The parameters for ETHTOOL_FLASHDEV include a filename, which ought to
be null-terminated.  Currently the only driver that implements
ethtool_ops::flash_device attempts to add a null terminator if
necessary, but does it wrongly.  Do it in the ethtool core instead.
