Subject: [patch v2] dma-debug: cleanup for loop

Earlier in this function we set the last byte of "buf" to NULL so we 
always hit the break statement and "i" is never equal to NAME_MAX_LEN.  
This patch doesn't change how the driver works but it silences a Smatch 
warning and it makes it clearer that we don't write past the end of the 
array.
