Subject: [PATCH] kdb: fix strncpy warning

kdb does a strncpy(a, b, strlen(b)+1), which makes no sense. Might as
well do a strcpy at this point.

Fixes this warning:

In function 'strncpy', inlined from 'kallsyms_symbol_next' at kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_support.c:239:4:
./include/linux/string.h:253:9: warning: '__builtin_strncpy' specified bound depends on the length of the source argument [-Wstringop-overflow=]
