libertas: fix write past end of array in mesh_id_get()
defs.meshie.val.mesh_id is 32 chars long. It's not supposed to be NUL terminated. This code puts a terminator on the end to make it easier to print to sysfs. The problem is that if the mesh_id fills the entire buffer the original code puts the terminator one spot past the end. The way the original code was written, there was a check to make sure that maxlen was less than PAGE_SIZE. Since we know that maxlen is at most 34 chars, I just removed the check.
