[PATCH] powerpc/pseries: Correct string length in pseries_of_derive_parent()

[Nathan Fontenot <nfont@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Commit a030e1e4bbd085bbcfd0a23f8d355fcd41f39bed made a change to use
kstrndup() instead of kmalloc() + strlcpy() in pseries_of_derive_parent()
which introduces a subtle change in the parent path name generated.
The kstrndup() routine will copy n characters followed by a terminating null,
whereas strlcpy() will copy n-1 characters and add a terminating null.

This slight difference results in having a parent path that includes the
trailing '/' character, i.e. "/cpus/" vs. "/cpus". This then causes the
subsequent call to of_find_node_by_path() to fail, and in the case of
DLPAR add operations, the DLPAR request fails.

This patch reduces the total length of the string to copy in kstrndup by 1
so we no longer copy the trailing '/'.
