Subject: [PATCH] smb: server: Fix extension string in
 ksmbd_extract_shortname()

In ksmbd_extract_shortname(), strscpy() is incorrectly called with the
length of the source string (excluding the NUL terminator) rather than
the size of the destination buffer. This results in "__" being copied
to 'extension' rather than "___" (two underscores instead of three).

Use the destination buffer size instead to ensure that the string "___"
(three underscores) is copied correctly.
