Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 06/10] net: pktgen: fix ctrl interface command parsing

Enable command writing without trailing '\n':

- the good case

	$ echo "reset" > /proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl

- the bad case (before the patch)

	$ echo -n "reset" > /proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl
	-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

- with patch applied

	$ echo -n "reset" > /proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl
