Subject: [PATCH net] rtnetlink: Fix the IFLA_PHYS_PORT_NAME TLV to include terminating NULL

The IFLA_PHYS_PORT_NAME rtnetlink TLV length does not include the
terminating NULL character, which is different from other string typed
TLVs. Due to the fact that libnl checks for the terminating NULL in every
string typed attribute, it crashes on every RTM_GETLINK response on
drivers that implement ndo_get_phys_port_name.

Make the fill_phys_port_name function include the terminating NULL in the
TLV size by using the nla_put_string helper function.

Fixes: db24a9044ee1 ("net: add support for phys_port_name")
