We error out unless the string has exactly CPUID_VENDOR_SZ characters.
We don't tell the user, though[*]. We should!
If this patch was long, I'd separate the long & mechanical from the
error message improvement. Since it isn't, I suggest to make the error
message improvement the patch's subject, and include the removal of
QERR_PROPERTY_VALUE_BAD "while there". You choose how to structure
this.
[*] This is a common issue with error systems that make new error
messages harder than reusing some existing message.
