Libertas: fix buffer overflow in lbs_get_essid()
The libertas driver copies the SSID buffer back to the wireless core and appends a trailing NULL character for termination. This is a) unnecessary because the buffer is allocated with kzalloc and is hence already NULLed when this function is called, and b) for priv->curbssparams.ssid_len == 32, it writes back one byte too much which causes memory corruptions. Fix this by removing the extra write.
