The erofs implementation of kernel has limitation of the volume label length.
The volume label data size of super block is 16 bytes.
The kernel implementation requires to null terminate inside a that 16 bytes.

Logs:
  $ ./mkfs/mkfs.erofs test16.erofs -L 0123456789abcdef test/
  $ mount -o loop ./test16.erofs ./mnt/
  $ dmesg
  [26477.019283] erofs: (device loop0): erofs_read_superblock: bad volume name without NIL terminator

  $ ./mkfs/mkfs.erofs test15.erofs -L 0123456789abcde test/
  $ mount -o loop ./test15.erofs ./mnt/
  $ dmesg
  [26500.516871] erofs: (device loop0): mounted with root inode @ nid 36.

This patch adjusts volume label maximum length to the kernel implementation.
