[PATCH] fix oops on rmmod capidrv

Hi,

I think the patch below fixes a long-standing bug on rmmod capidrv. Please
apply.

Kind regards,

Gerd

Fix overwriting the stack with the version string
(it is currently 10 bytes + zero) when unloading the
capidrv module. Safeguard against overwriting it
should the version string grow in the future.

Should fix Kernel Bug Tracker Bug 9696.
