Subject: [PATCH iproute2 v2 1/2] arpd: drop unnecessary explicit null termination

This is a followup to a previous commit 61170fd88d264c
"get rid of unnecessary fgets() buffer size limitation".

If fgets guarantees buffer will be null terminated in the
given size, then we can also drop the explicit termination.
