[2.6 patch] fix array over-run in efi.c

[Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>]

From: Darren Jenkins <darrenrjenkins@gmail.com>

Coverity found an over-run @ line 364 of efi.c

This is due to the loop checking the size correctly, then adding a '\0'
after possibly hitting the end of the array.

The patch below just ensures the loop exits with one space left in the
array.

Compile tested.
