platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix current password length check

current_password_store() checks the password length before removing the
trailing newline, which can reject valid passwords that are exactly
->maxlen bytes long.

It also passes ->maxlen to strscpy(), which truncates passwords without
a newline.

Use strchrnul() to measure the password length up to the newline, then
copy that many bytes and add a trailing NUL terminator using strscpy().
