Btrfs: ensure path name is null terminated at btrfs_control_ioctl
commit f505754f upstream. We were using the path name received from user space without checking that it is null terminated. While btrfs-progs is well behaved and does proper validation and null termination, someone could call the ioctl and pass a non-null terminated patch, leading to buffer overrun problems in the kernel. The ioctl is protected by CAP_SYS_ADMIN. So just set the last byte of the path to a null character, similar to what we do in other ioctls (add/remove/resize device, snapshot creation, etc).
