Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 20/31] perf data: Fix 'strncat may truncate' build failure with recent gcc

From: Shawn Landden <shawn@....icu>

[ Upstream commit 97acec7df172cd1e450f81f5e293c0aa145a2797 ]

This strncat() is safe because the buffer was allocated with zalloc(),
however gcc doesn't know that. Since the string always has 4 non-null
bytes, just use memcpy() here.
