[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 39/45] test_hexdump: use memcpy instead of strncpy

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

[ Upstream commit b1286ed7158e9b62787508066283ab0b8850b518 ]

New versions of gcc reasonably warn about the odd pattern of

strncpy(p, q, strlen(q));

which really doesn't make sense: the strncpy() ends up being just a slow
and odd way to write memcpy() in this case.

Apparently there was a patch for this floating around earlier, but it
got lost.
