[libvirt] [PATCH] node_device_driver.c: don't write beyond EOB for 4K-byte symlink

[Jim Meyering <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Without this patch, a symlink pointing to a 4096-byte name
could make this code write NUL into the byte beyond end of buffer:

    if ((n = readlink(driver_link, devpath, sizeof devpath - 1)) < 0) {
        virReportSystemError(conn, errno,
                             _("cannot resolve driver link %s"), driver_link);
        goto cleanup;
    }
    devpath[n] = '\0';

Subject: [PATCH] node_device_driver.c: don't write beyond EOB for 4K-byte symlink

* src/node_device/node_device_driver.c (update_driver_name): Leave
one byte for the trailing NUL we'll append.
