[PATCH] IDE-TAPE NULL terminate strings.

After updating my kernel to 2.6.26 the output for the ide-tape drive
during booting is garbled eg
ide-tape: hdd <-> ht0: Seagate <98>ß8A51|1À<81>Üº<98>ß STT20000A rev 8A51|1À<81>Üº<98>ß

This patch fixes the problem by NULL terminating the strings.

PPS: there are more problems with my tapestreamer in 2.6.26 but I'll
post a separate message for that.
