configfs: Zero terminate data in configfs attribute writes.
Attributes in configfs are text files. As such, most handlers expect to be able to call functions like simple_strtoul() without checking the bounds of the buffer. Change the call to zero terminate the buffer before calling the client's ->store() method. This does reduce the attribute size from PAGE_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE-1. Also, change get_zeroed_page() to alloc_page(), as we are handling the termination. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
