[ 04/57] bcache: Strip endline when writing the label through sysfs

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gabriel de Perthuis <g2p.code@xxxxxxxxx>

commit aee6f1cfff3ce240eb4b43b41ca466b907acbd2e upstream.

sysfs attributes with unusual characters have crappy failure modes
in Squeeze (udev 164); later versions of udev are unaffected.

This should make these characters more unusual.
