Memory will be allocated to store substring_t in match_strdup(), which means
the caller of match_strdup() may need to be scheduled out to wait for reclaiming
memory.

Using local array to store substring_t to remove the restriction.

 v1->v2:
   change the name of buffer's length
   use match_strlcpy() to copy string and keep string length check
 v2->v3:
   judge whether the length to be copied exceeds the limit by the return value 
   of match_strlcpy()

This fixes a sleep-while-atomic splat in blk-iocost, so it'd be a good idea to add:

 Fixes: 2c0647988433 ("blk-iocost: don't release 'ioc->lock' while updating params").

The mm tree likely is the best fit but given the splat the block tree can
work too. Andrew, Jens, what do you think?

Thanks.

NUMER => NUMBER

Text in commit messages should be wrapped at 72 columns.

As I requested on v2, the return value of match_strlcpy() should be used instead
of checking '((s->to - s->from) >= NUMBER_BUF_LEN'.

I can take it through the block tree once folks are happy with it, as
the buggy patch came through there. Doesn't really matter to me,
however.

Why is it marked for-next though, seems like this is a regression in
this series?
