blktrace: NUL-terminate user space messages
Impact: fix corrupted blkparse output
Make sure messages from user space are NUL-terminated strings,
otherwise we could dump random memory to the block trace file.
Additionally, I've limited the message to BLK_TN_MAX_MSG-1
characters, because the last character would be stripped by
vscnprintf anyway.
