Subjectisdn: icn: Fix stack overflow bug
From
Date
Running randconfig with ktest.pl I hit this bug:

[ 16.181181] panic occurred, switching back to text console

Looking into it I found that the stack was corrupted by the assignment
of the Rev #. The variable rev is given 10 bytes, and in this output the
characters that were copied was: " 1.65.6.8 $". Which was 11 characters
plus the null ending character for a total of 12 bytes, thus corrupting
the stack.

This patch ups the variable size to 20 bytes as well as changes the
strcpy to strncpy. I also added a check to make sure '$' is found.
