Subject: [PATCH] x86/mtrr: don't copy out-of-bounds data in mtrr_write

Don't access the provided buffer out of bounds - this can cause a kernel
out-of-bounds read when invoked through sys_splice() or other things that
use kernel_write()/__kernel_write().

Fixes: 7f8ec5a4f01a ("x86/mtrr: Convert to use strncpy_from_user() helper")
