the parameter 'const char *buf' may be not '\0' based string.
  so need check the length before use it.

additinal info:
  originally, it had the relative checking.
  but it was deleted when fix another issues (using strlcpy instead of
strncpy)
  and now, we need restore the checking (but still keep strlcpy)

 			params.channel = channel;

oh, sorry, it is my fault.

  according to fill_write_buffer in fs/sysfs/file.c,
    we can assume that 'const char *buf' must be '\0' based string.

  please skip this patch.
