The commit ba8f6f4ae254 ("iwlwifi: dbg: add dumping special device
memory") added a termination of name string just to be sure, and this
seems causing a regression, a GPF triggered at firmware loading.
Basically we shouldn't modify the firmware data that may be provided
as read-only.
This patch drops the code that caused the regression and keep the tlv
data as is.

As an alternative fix, the debug print could be with the printf length
specifier to limit the size to IWL_FW_INIT_MAX_NAME, as found in the
bugzilla entries above, too. I chose a simpler (partial) revert here
instead.
