defs.meshie.val.mesh_id is 32 chars long. It's not supposed to be NUL
terminated. This code puts a terminator on the end to make it easier to
print to sysfs. The problem is that if the mesh_id fills the entire
buffer the original code puts the terminator one spot past the end.
The way the original code was written, there was a check to make sure
that maxlen was less than PAGE_SIZE. Since we know that maxlen is at
most 34 chars, I just removed the check.
