watchdog/perf: one digit too short in the raw event config copy
Commit 6164be01f179 ("watchdog/perf: optimize bytes copied and remove manual NUL-termination") swapped strscpy(buf, str, sizeof(buf)) plus a manual buf[len] = 0 for strscpy(buf, str, len), and that count is one short. strscpy() keeps the last byte of the destination for the NUL, so the config loses its final digit, nmi_watchdog=r300,panic for example ends up with buf = "30" and arms the raw event with the wrong config. The empty case falls over too, strscpy() with a zero count writes nothing at all, so nmi_watchdog=r,1 leaves buf uninitialized and kstrtoull() reads whatever stack garbage is sitting there. The old code was safe on both by accident, it filled the whole buffer first and buf[len] = 0 then stomped the comma position, so the worst you got was a truncated parse failure. Pass len + 1 so the copy includes the character the NUL replaces, and reject len >= sizeof(buf) like it was before the optimization, which also turns an empty config back into a clean parse failure.
