flags_show() build their output with a seq_buf and return seq_buf_used(),
which may include the trailing NUL byte when the seq_buf has
overflowed. Use seq_buf_strlen() instead.

The flag names are far shorter than the PAGE_SIZE buffer sysfs
provides, so this cannot overflow today.

Build tested ARCH=x86_64 with GCC 16.2.0, built out of tree with
make M=tools/testing/nvdimm:
tools/testing/nvdimm/test/ndtest.o
