[RFC PATCH 1/2] ACPI: mark ACPI_COPY_NAMESEG destinations with __nonstring attribute

[Ahmed Salem <x0rw3ll@gmail.com>]

strncpy(), which ACPI_COPY_NAMESEG currently uses, is deprecated[1].

This patch is the first of two, ultimately replacing strncpy() with
strtomem(), avoiding future compiler warnings about truncation.
