kernel/params.c: fix an overflow in param_attr_show

Function param_attr_show could overflow the buffer it is operating on.

The buffer size is PAGE_SIZE, and the string returned by
attribute->param->ops->get is generated by scnprintf(buffer, PAGE_SIZE,
...) so it could be PAGE_SIZE - 1 long, with the terminating '\0' at the
very end of the buffer.  Calling strcat(..., "\n") on this isn't safe, as
the '\0' will be replaced by '\n' (OK) and then another '\0' will be added
past the end of the buffer (not OK.)

Simply add the trailing '\n' when writing the attribute contents to the
buffer originally.  This is safe, and also faster.
