Subject: usbip: fix usbip bind writing random string after command in match_busid
From: Juan Zea <juan.zea@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 544c4605acc5ae4afe7dd5914147947db182f2fb upstream.
usbip bind writes commands followed by random string when writing to
match_busid attribute in sysfs, caused by using full variable size
instead of string length.
