[PATCHv2] fs/9p: avoid debug OOPS when reading a long symlink

[Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>]

Reading a symlink longer than the given buffer, a p9_debug use would
try to print the link name (not NUL-terminated) using a %s format.
Use %.*s instead, and replace the strncpy+strnlen with functionally
equivalent strlen+memcpy.

V1 provoked a warning due to strlen/buflen type differences (size_t/int)
and the "min" macro's type equality requirement.  This adds a cast to
avoid that warning:

-	retval = min(strlen(st->extension)+1, buflen);
+	retval = min(strlen(st->extension)+1, (size_t)buflen);
