[PATCH v2] mach-omap2: fixing wrong strcat for Non-NULL terminated string

[Maninder Singh]

variable name can have Non NULL terminated string after cropping
which may result strcat to fail, and cropping is not
required if (strlen(oh->name) + 8 < MOD_CLK_MAX_NAME_LEN).

Issue caught with static analysis tool:
"Dangerous usage of 'name' (strncpy doesn't always 0-terminate it)"

Simpler, clearer, and less error-prone:

	static const char modck[] = "_mod_ck";

	if (strlen(oh->name) >= MOD_CLK_MAX_NAME_LEN - strlen(modck))
		pr_warn("%s: warning: cropping name for %s\n", __func__,
			oh->name);

	strlcpy(name, oh->name, MOD_CLK_MAX_NAME_LEN - strlen(modck));
	strlcat(name, modck, MOD_CLK_MAX_NAME_LEN);

Note that the length argument to strlcpy _includes_ the NUL terminator.
Also note the use of strlcat() which ensures that it won't overflow the
buffer.
