Subject: [PATCH] isdnloop: NUL-terminate strings from userspace

Both the in-kernel and BSD strlcpy() require that the source string is
NUL terminated. We could use strncpy() + explicitly terminate the result,
but this relies on src and dest having the same size, so the safest thing
to do seems to explicitly terminate the source string before doing the
strlcpy().

Fixes: f9a23c84486ed35 ("isdnloop: use strlcpy() instead of strcpy()")
