[PATCH] PCI/sysfs: off by two and memory corruption in driver_override parameter

[Sasha Levin]

There are two different issues fixed here:

 - On nun-NULL terminated input a random byte of memory would get flipped
from '\n' to '\0'.
 - When printing the driver_override parameter when it is 4095 and 4094 bytes
long the printing code would access invalid memory.
