[lucid/fsl-imx51, maverick, maverick/ti-omap4, natty, natty/ti-omap4 CVE 1/1] staging: comedi: fix infoleak to userspace

From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segoon at openwall.com>

driver_name and board_name are pointers to strings, not buffers of size
COMEDI_NAMELEN.  Copying COMEDI_NAMELEN bytes of a string containing
less than COMEDI_NAMELEN-1 bytes would leak some unrelated bytes.
