Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: xen: ensure nul-terminated device name

gcc-8 warns that pcm_instance->name is not necessarily terminated correctly
if the input is more than 80 characters long or lacks a termination byte
itself:

In function 'strncpy',
    inlined from 'cfg_device' at sound/xen/xen_snd_front_cfg.c:399:3,
    inlined from 'xen_snd_front_cfg_card' at sound/xen/xen_snd_front_cfg.c:509:9:
include/linux/string.h:254:9: error: '__builtin_strncpy' specified bound 80 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
  return __builtin_strncpy(p, q, size);

Using strlcpy() instead of strncpy() makes this a bit safer.

Fixes: fd3b36045c2c ("ALSA: xen-front: Read sound driver configuration from Xen store")
