I suspect the intent is to work without a trailing "\n", but you're
right that this parsing is rather lax.

All attribute writes should be going through kernfs_fop_write(), which
writes a null terminator at buf[count] before calling the write/store
function.  (I don't know where that'ss documented though.)  So I think
this is safe.
