Subject: a few strncpy-related patches

I've seen a few too many cases of strncpy misuse.
Looking through linux sources, I spotted/fixed these:

[PATCH] ACPI: remove unwarranted use of strncpy
[PATCH] fs/9p: avoid debug OOPS when reading a long symlink
[PATCH] kmemleak: avoid buffer overrun: NUL-terminate strncpy-copied
[PATCH] bfa: avoid buffer overrun for 12-byte model name
[PATCH] cifs: remove misleading strncpy: each name has length < 16
