Subject: [PATCH] tty/8250_early: Don't truncate last character of options

the 3,9 change to use strlcpy to save options uncovered a bug in the options argument length calculation causing last character of the string to be truncated by strlcpy. This caused the actual console to be configured with bad parameters when specifying the console using console=uart,... syntax.

Example:

Kernel command line: console=uart,mmio,0x90000000,115200 Early serial console at MMIO 0x90000000 (options '11520')
