Linus Torvalds f5b65348fd proc: fix missing final NUL in get_mm_cmdline() rewrite
The rewrite of the cmdline fetching missed the fact that we used to also
return the final terminating NUL character of the last argument.  I
hadn't noticed, and none of the tools I tested cared, but something
obviously must care, because Michal Kubecek noticed the change in
behavior.

Tweak the "find the end" logic to actually include the NUL character,
and once past the eend of argv, always start the strnlen() at the
expected (original) argument end.

This whole "allow people to rewrite their arguments in place" is a nasty
hack and requires that odd slop handling at the end of the argv array,
but it's our traditional model, so we continue to support it.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
