Subject: [PATCH] drm/nouveau/core/client: use strlcpy() instead of strncpy()

From: Xiongfeng Wang <xiongfeng.wang@...aro.org>

gcc-8 reports

drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvif/client.c: In function 'nvif_client_init':
./include/linux/string.h:245:9: warning: '__builtin_strncpy' specified
bound 32 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]

We need to use strlcpy() to make sure the dest string is nul-terminated.
