Btrfs: avoid buffer overrun in mount option handling
There is an off-by-one error: allocating room for a maximal result string but without room for a trailing NUL. That, can lead to returning a transformed string that is not NUL-terminated, and then to a caller reading beyond end of the malloc'd buffer. Rewrite to s/kzalloc/kmalloc/, remove unwarranted use of strncpy (the result is guaranteed to fit), remove dead strlen at end, and change a few variable names and comments.
