Subject: [PATCH] NFSv4: Fix the string length returned by the idmapper

commit cf4ab538f1516606d3ae730dce15d6f33d96b7e1 upstream.

Functions like nfs_map_uid_to_name() and nfs_map_gid_to_group() are
expected to return a string without any terminating NUL character.
Regression introduced by commit 57e62324e469e092ecc6c94a7a86fe4bd6ac5172
(NFS: Store the legacy idmapper result in the keyring).
