Mark Fasheh 5516e5957f Btrfs: Null terminate strings passed in from userspace 
The 'char name[BTRFS_PATH_NAME_MAX]' member of struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args
is passed directly to strlen() after being copied from user. I haven't
verified this, but in theory a userspace program could pass in an
unterminated string and cause a kernel crash as strlen walks off the end of
the array.

This patch terminates the ->name string in all btrfs ioctl functions which
currently use a 'struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args'. Since the string is now
properly terminated, it's length will never be longer than
BTRFS_PATH_NAME_MAX so that error check has been removed.

By the way, it might be better overall to just have the ioctl pass an
unterminated string + length structure but I didn't bother with that since
it'd change the kernel/user interface.
