xtensa/simdisk: fix proc_read_simdisk()
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.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
