wmi: fix kernel panic when stack protection enabled.
Summary:
Kernel panic arise when stack protection is enabled, since strncat will
add a null terminating byte '\0'; So in functions
like this one (wmi_query_block):
char wc[4]="WC";
....
strncat(method, block->object_id, 2);
...
the length of wc should be n+1 (wc[5]) or stack protection
fault will arise. This is not noticeable when stack protection is
disabled,but , isn't good either.
Config used: [CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y,
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y]
