[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 2/6] batctl: Force null termination of string after strncpy

[Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>]

strncpy doesn't terminate the string with a '\0' character when the length
of the destination memory location was shorter than the source string.
Accessing it again with string related functions isn't safe after such a
semi-failed copy and the caller has to handle it. The easiest way is to
always set the last character in the destination buffer to '\0' after the
strncpy was called.

Also the length provided as argument of strncpy should not be the length of
the source buffer but the maximum number of bytes in the destination buffer.
