Subject: [PATCH] Block: Fix block/elevator.c elevator_get() off-by-one error

elevator_get() not check the name length, if the name length > sizeof(elv),
elv will miss the '\0'. And elv buffer will be replace "-iosched" as something
like aaaaaaaaa, then call request_module() can load an not trust module.
