Subject: usbip: fix usbip bind writing random string after command in match_busid

From: Juan Zea <[email protected]>

commit 544c4605acc5ae4afe7dd5914147947db182f2fb upstream.

usbip bind writes commands followed by random string when writing to match_busid attribute in sysfs, caused by using full variable size instead of string length.
