smack: off by one error

Browse Source 
Consider the input case of a rule that consists entirely of non space
symbols followed by a \0. Say 64 + \0

In this case strlen(data) = 64
kzalloc of subject and object are 64 byte objects
sscanfdata, "%s %s %s", subject, ...)

will put 65 bytes into subject.
