[PATCH 1/2] nvme: Ensure char members of struct nvme_id_ctrl are null-terminated

When issueing an identify command, the resulting data structure stored
as a nvme_id_ctrl struct, contains a couple of char members.

These char members features:
- the serial number (sn)
- the model number (mn)
- the firmware revision (fr)

As per the current code, nothing enforce these members to be
null-terminated which causes issues when manipulating them with regular
string manupulation functions.

This commit ensure the three of them are always null-terminated.
