[PATCH] wireless: wext: terminate ifr name coming from userspace

ifr name is assumed to be a valid string by the kernel, but nothing was forcing username to pass a valid string. In turn, this would cause panics as we tried to access the string past it's valid memory. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin --- net/core/dev_ioctl.c | 2 ++
