Hans de Goede 71d69e82f4 platform/x86: think-lmi: Return EINVAL when kbdlang gets set to a 0 length string
Commit 0ddcf3a6b4 ("platform/x86: think-lmi: Avoid potential read before
start of the buffer") moved the length == 0 up to before stripping the '\n'
which typically gets added when users echo a value to a sysfs-attribute
from the shell.

This avoids a potential buffer-underrun, but it also causes a behavioral
change, prior to this change "echo > kbdlang", iow writing just a single
'\n' would result in an EINVAL error, but after the change this gets
accepted setting kbdlang to an empty string.

Fix this by replacing the manual '\n' check with using strchrnul() to get
the length till '\n' or terminating 0 in one go; and then do the
length != 0 check after this.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
