When booting Ubuntu 26.04 with Linux 7.0-rc4 on an ARM64 Qualcomm
Snapdragon X1 we see a string buffer overrun:

The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff0008901ca000
which belongs to the cache kmalloc-rnd-06-8k of size 8192
The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of
allocated 8192-byte region [ffff0008901ca000, ffff0008901cc000)
The buggy address belongs to the physical page:

This was introduced by previous incorrect conversion from strcpy(). Fix it
by adding the missing terminator.
