Subject: [PATCH] mpt3sas: Ensure the connector_name string is
NUL-terminated

We blindly trust the hardware to give us NUL-terminated strings, which is
a bad idea because it doesn't always do that. For example:

  [  481.184784] mpt3sas_cm0: 	enclosure level(0x0000), connector name(
\x3)

In this case, connector_name is four spaces. We got lucky here because the
2nd byte beyond our character array happens to be a NUL. Fix this by
explicitly writing '\0' to the end of the string to ensure we don't run
off the edge of the world in printk().
