Yeah. the size of buffer allocated for printing is done at upper call
site in proc_info_read(). By the time we reach here, the size info is
lost. It would be too much churn to add a argument to the read method
of proc_op. Since these functions are all in one file, I moved
PROC_BLOCK_SIZE up so it can be used to check buffer length. Would
that be enough? Lots of other proc read methods don't check against
buffer overrun, I suppose those should be fixed as well.

updated patch that also fixed other comments.
