Subject: [PATCH 3.2 001/102] regulatory: add NUL to alpha2

3.2.64-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eliad Peller <eliad@...ery.com>

commit a5fe8e7695dc3f547e955ad2b662e3e72969e506 upstream.

alpha2 is defined as 2-chars array, but is used in multiple
places as string (e.g. with nla_put_string calls), which
might leak kernel data.

Solve it by simply adding an extra char for the NULL
terminator, making such operations safe.
