Subject: PCI: Don't read past the end of sysfs "driver_override" buffer

commit 4efe874aace57dba967624ce1c48322da2447b75 upstream.

When printing the driver_override parameter when it is 4095 and 4094 bytes
long, the printing code would access invalid memory because we need count+1
bytes for printing.
