Subject: [net 8/9] net/mlx5: Fix incorrect raw command length parsing

From: Alex Vesker <valex@...lanox.com>

The NULL character was not set correctly for the string containing
the command length, this caused failures reading the output of the
command due to a random length. The fix is to initialize the output
length string.
