4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Alexander Potapenko <glider@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c28294b941232931fbd714099798eb7aa7e865d7 ] KMSAN reported a use of uninitialized memory in dev_set_alias(), which was caused by calling strlcpy() (which in turn called strlen()) on the user-supplied non-terminated string.
