[PATCH] erofs: include the trailing NUL in FS_IOC_GETFSLABEL

erofs_ioctl_get_volume_label() passes strlen(sbi->volume_name) as
the length to copy_to_user(), which copies the label string without
the trailing NUL byte.  Since FS_IOC_GETFSLABEL callers expect a
NUL-terminated string in the FSLABEL_MAX-sized buffer and may not
pre-zero the buffer, this can cause userspace to read past the label
into uninitialised stack memory.

Fix this by using strlen() + 1 to include the NUL terminator,
consistent with how ext4 and xfs implement FS_IOC_GETFSLABEL.
