kernel/params.c: fix the maximum length in param_get_string
The length parameter of strlcpy() is supposed to reflect the size of the target buffer, not of the source string. Harmless in this case as the buffer is PAGE_SIZE long and the source string is always much shorter than this, but conceptually wrong, so let's fix it.
