No. lookup_dentry doesn't terminate it either, and nothing depends on it.
There's no place for the null anyway. I don't see a problem with this.
The qstr has just been freshly allocated. This works as if lookup_dentry
had stopped after s_namelen chars by itself. Also, i want the truncated
name to be used by d_path.
