Actually, volume name doesn't need to include the NIL terminator if
the string length matches the on-disk field size as mentioned in [1].

I tend to relax it together with the upcoming 48-bit block addressing
(or stable kernels which backport this fix) so that we could have a
chance to record a 16-byte volume name like ext4.

Since in-memory `volume_name` has no user, just get rid of the unneeded
check for now. `sbi->uuid` is useless and avoid it too.

Fixes: a64d9493f587 ("staging: erofs: refuse to mount images with malformed volume name")
