[PATCH RESEND v2 13/51] sched/psi: don't drop the last byte of a trigger write

[Christian Brauner]

psi_write() copies at most 32 bytes of the write into its buffer and
terminates the buffer by overwriting its last byte. For a write shorter
than 32 bytes that is the last byte the writer sent. A trigger written
without a trailing newline loses its last digit then, "some 150000
1000000" turns into "some 150000 100000", and a shorter one like
"some 150 10000" fails with -EINVAL because the window doesn't fit
anymore. Only writes that end in a newline parse as intended.

Copy at most 31 bytes and terminate behind them.
