[PATCH v4 1/6] iio: backend: fix out-of-bound write

[Markus Burri]

The buffer is set to 80 character. If a caller write more characters,
count is truncated to the max available space in "simple_write_to_buffer".
But afterwards a string terminator is written to the buffer at offset count
without boundary check. The zero termination is written OUT-OF-BOUND.

Add a check that the given buffer is smaller then the buffer to prevent.

Fixes: 035b4989211d ("iio: backend: make sure to NULL terminate stack buffer")
