mpt3sas: Ensure the connector_name string is NUL-terminated

We blindly trust the hardware to give us NUL-terminated strings, which
is a bad idea because it doesn't always do that. For example:

  [  481.184784] mpt3sas_cm0: 	enclosure level(0x0000), connector name(     \x3)

In this case, connector_name is four spaces. We got lucky here because
the 2nd byte beyond our character array happens to be a NUL. Fix this
by explicitly writing '\0' to the end of the string to ensure we don't
run off the edge of the world in printk().

Broadcom folks, please respond to this and other mpt3sas patches in the

Applied to 4.9/scsi-queue.
