Subject: [PATCH][next] cpumask: allocate enough space for string and trailing '\0' char

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently the allocation of cpulist is based on the length of buf but does
not include the addition end of string '\0' terminator. Static analysis is
reporting this as a potential out-of-bounds access on cpulist. Fix this by
allocating enough space for the additional '\0' terminator.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Out-of-bounds access")
Fixes: 65987e67f7ff ("cpumask: add "last" alias for cpu list specifications")
