Subject[PATCH] printk: fix string termination for record_print_text()
Date
Commit f0e386ee0c0b ("printk: fix buffer overflow potential for
print_text()") added string termination in record_print_text().
However it used the wrong base pointer for adding the terminator.
This led to a 0-byte being written somewhere beyond the buffer.

Use the correct base pointer when adding the terminator.
