Description

The following codes are incorrect:

$ git grep "MAX_STRING_SIZE" | grep copy_from_user
lustre/ldlm/ldlm_resource.c:	if (copy_from_user(dummy, buffer, MAX_STRING_SIZE))
lustre/obdclass/lprocfs_status.c:	if (copy_from_user(dummy, buffer, MAX_STRING_SIZE))

We should only copy enough bytes to cover count passed in.
