[PATCH] hid: avoid '\0' in hid debugfs events file

[Bruno PrÃmont]

When dumping /sys/kernel/debug/hid/$device/events '\0' characters show up
(invisible if cat to console but shown by less or while looking at a dump
file).
These are due to hid_debug_event() adding strlen()+1 bytes to the ring
buffer (e.g. including the trailing '\0').
Any roll-over causes a '\0' as well as hid_debug_event() handles the ring
buffers with HID_DEBUG_BUFSIZE-1 size while hid_debug_events_read() handles
it with full HID_DEBUG_BUFSIZE size.

Note:
The ring buffer overflow case (when tail crosses head) seems to be
suboptimal at best.
Would there be a good way to mark those cases so reader can know where
data got lost. (though this might not be easy keeping the lockless
design)
