From: Taro Yamada <archer_ame at yahoo.co.jp>

The string written to the buffer by read() is not null-terminated,
but currently drmParsePciBusInfo() places null character only at the end of the buffer, not at the end of the
string.
As a result, the string passed to sscanf() contains an uninitialized value.

This patch changes to places null character at the end of the string.
