Revise hello-5 and its output (#38)
For the example module hello_5, the book showed the incorrect output
in corresponding with its execution results.

In addition, this patch changes from myintArray[2] = {-1, -1} to
myintArray[2] = {420, 420}, which help the readers distinguish from
the kernel messages.

chardev: Revise comment on device node (#23)
The device file create in this example is "chardev". 
So input command "sudo cat /dev/chardev" will get a valid message
"I already told you %d times Hello world!"

Avoid strlen by assigning explicit length of string for proc_read (#18)
Since the address of buffer is userspace address, it may trigger an unexpected fault on strlen(buffer).

On Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS ( 5.8.0-63-generic ), using strlen(buffer) will result in the following:
