Subject: [PATCH v2] xtensa/simdisk: fix proc_read_simdisk()

From: Yi Yang <yiyang13@huawei.com>

The commit a69755b18774 ("xtensa simdisk: switch to proc_create_data()")
split read operation into two parts, first retrieving the path when it's
non-null and second retrieving the trailing '\n'. However when the path
is non-null the first simple_read_from_buffer updates ppos, and the
second simple_read_from_buffer returns 0 if ppos is greater than 1 (i.e.
almost always). As a result reading from that proc file is almost always
empty.

Fix it by making a temporary copy of the path with the trailing '\n' and
using simple_read_from_buffer on that copy.
