Subject: [PATCH] hfsplus: Return null terminated string from hfsplus_uni2asc()

In case hfsplus_uni2asc() is called with reused buffer there is a
possibility that the buffer contains remains of the last string and the
null character is only after that. This can and has caused problems in
functions that call hfsplus_uni2asc().

Also correct the error handling for call to copy_name() where the above
problem caused error to be not passed in hfsplus_listxattr().

Fixes: 7dcbf17e3f91 ("hfsplus: refactor copy_name to not use strncpy")
