Subject: [PATCH 5.1 66/98] perf data: Fix strncat may truncate build failure with recent gcc

[ 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.
