[BLOCK] fix string handling in elv_iosched_store
elv_iosched_store doesn't terminate string passed from userspace if it's too long. Also, if the written length is zero (probably not possible), it accesses elevator_name[-1]. This patch fixes both bugs. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
