Btrfs: Null terminate strings passed in from userspace
The 'char name[BTRFS_PATH_NAME_MAX]' member of struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args is passed directly to strlen() after being copied from user. I haven't verified this, but in theory a userspace program could pass in an unterminated string and cause a kernel crash as strlen walks off the end of the array. This patch terminates the ->name string in all btrfs ioctl functions which currently use a 'struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args'. Since the string is now properly terminated, it's length will never be longer than BTRFS_PATH_NAME_MAX so that error check has been removed. By the way, it might be better overall to just have the ioctl pass an unterminated string + length structure but I didn't bother with that since it'd change the kernel/user interface.
