3.16.7-ckt9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin at oracle.com>

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.

Fixes: 782a985d7af2 ("PCI: Introduce new device binding path using pci_dev.driver_override")
