[PATCH] kernel: events: strncpy, always be sure of NUL terminated.

[Chen Gang]

  for NUL terminated string, always be sure of '\0' at the end.
  
  in our case, need return value, so still use strncpy
    (strlcpy return the size, not the pointer)

perf: Fix strncpy() use, always make sure it's NUL terminated

For NUL terminated string, always make sure that there's '\0' at the end.

In our case we need a return value, so still use strncpy() and
fix up the tail explicitly.

(strlcpy() returns the size, not the pointer)
