Subject: [net-next 08/14] i40e: Fix off by one in i40e_dbg_command_write

From: Alan Cox <alan@...ux.intel.com>

We assume that the resulting buffer is zero terminated when we then
re-use it. The sscanf is limited to 512 bytes but needs to be 511
to allow for a terminator.

One of a set of problems noted by Jackie Chang
