I have tried to use 'sizeof(level_str)' instead of 'strlen(fault_level[level]) + 1', but this will lead
to following compile warning:

In function ‘strncpy’,
    inlined from ‘chip_fault_show’ at drivers/net/ethernet/huawei/hinic/hinic_devlink.c:345:3:
./include/linux/string.h:297:30: warning: ‘__builtin_strncpy’ specified bound 17 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
  297 | #define __underlying_strncpy __builtin_strncpy

So I will use the strlen()+1 pattern consistently.
