configfs: Zero terminate data in configfs attribute writes.
Attributes in configfs are text files. As such, most handlers expect to be
able to call functions like simple_strtoul() without checking the bounds
of the buffer. Change the call to zero terminate the buffer before calling
the client's ->store() method. This does reduce the attribute size from
PAGE_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE-1.
Also, change get_zeroed_page() to alloc_page(), as we are handling the
termination.
