Subject: lib/sys_info: handle sys_info_mask==0 case
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2025 10:56:58 +0800

Generalization of panic_print's dump function [1] has been merged, and
this patchset is to address some remaining issues, like adding note of the
obsoletion of 'panic_print' cmdline parameter, refining the kernel
document for panic_print, and hardening some string management.


This patch (of 4):

It is a normal case that bitmask parameter is 0, so pre-initialize the
names[] to null string to cover this case.

Also remove the superfluous "+1" in names[sizeof(sys_info_avail) + 1],
which is needed for 'strlen()', but not for 'sizeof()'.
