Subject: [PATCH 3.13 258/259] dns_resolver: Null-terminate the right string

3.13.11.6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>

[ Upstream commit 640d7efe4c08f06c4ae5d31b79bd8740e7f6790a ]

*_result[len] is parsed as *(_result[len]) which is not at all what we
want to touch here.
