[PATCH] module: fix failed to rmmod kernel module when it's name is too long

From: Xie XiuQi
Date: Fri Jan 13 2017 - 04:27:48 EST


When the name of kernel module is more than 56 chars (include 56),
the module could be insmod successfully, but failed to rmmod.

$ strace rmmod tst_1111111111222222222233333333334444444444555555555566

In this patch, we just set the last char to '\0', to make sure
the name has the tailing '\0'.
