fix sscanf %n match at end of input string
I was playing with some code that sometimes got a string where a %n match should have been done where the input string ended, for example like this: sscanf("abc123", "abc%d%n", &a, &n); /* doesn't work */ sscanf("abc123a", "abc%d%n", &a, &n); /* works */ However, the scanf function in the kernel doesn't convert the %n in that case because it has already matched the complete input after %d and just completely stops matching then. This patch fixes that.
