[PATCH v3] watchdog/perf: one digit too short in the raw event config copy

[Bradley Morgan]

Commit 6164be01f179 ("watchdog/perf: optimize bytes copied and remove
manual NUL-termination") swapped strscpy(buf, str, sizeof(buf)) plus a
manual buf[len] = 0 for strscpy(buf, str, len), and that count is one
short. strscpy() keeps the last byte of the destination for the NUL,
so the config loses its final digit, nmi_watchdog=r300,panic for
example ends up with buf = "30" and arms the raw event with the wrong
config.

The empty case falls over too, strscpy() with a zero count writes
nothing at all, so nmi_watchdog=r,1 leaves buf uninitialized and
kstrtoull() reads whatever stack garbage is sitting there.

The old code was safe on both by accident, it filled the whole buffer
first and buf[len] = 0 then stomped the comma position, so the worst
you got was a truncated parse failure.

Pass len + 1 so the copy includes the character the NUL replaces, and
reject len >= sizeof(buf) like it was before the optimization, which
also turns an empty config back into a clean parse failure.

Changes since v2:

- rebased on pristine mainline, v2 was cut on top of v1 so the diff
  carried v1's hunks
- the intro note moved below the cut, it ended up in the commit
  message in v2
- dropped the Suggested-by, review feedback doesn't warrant one
