3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Martin Wilck mwilck@suse.com
commit 81df022b688d43d2a3667518b2f755d384397910 upstream.
Cleanly fill memory for "vendor" and "model" with 0-bytes for the "compatible" case rather than adding only a single 0 byte. This simplifies the devinfo code a a bit, and avoids mistakes in other places of the code (not in current upstream, but we had one such mistake in the SUSE kernel).
[mkp: applied by hand and added braces]
