Subject: [PATCH] enclosure: fix oops while iterating enclosure_status array

 enclosure_status is expected to be a NULL terminated array of strings
 but isn't actually NULL terminated. When writing an invalid value to
 /sys/class/enclosure/.../.../status, it goes off the end of the array
 and Oopses.

 This patch uses the array size instead.
