[PATCH v3] cmdline: prevent out-of-bounds read in completion buffer

> tmp_buf is populated by the completion callback and is not guaranteed

> The code already accounts for this when computing tmp_size with
> strnlen(tmp_buf, sizeof(tmp_buf)). However, another loop in the same
> path still walks tmp_buf until a NUL byte is found, without checking
> the buffer limit.
> 
> If the callback writes a full-sized non-NUL-terminated string, the loop
> may read past the end of tmp_buf.
> 
> Fix this by computing a bounded length for each completion choice before
> printing it.
