Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 09/44] i40e: use correct length for strncpy

From: Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit 7eb74ff891b4e94b8bac48f648a21e4b94ddee64 ]

Caught by GCC 8. When we provide a length for strncpy, we should not
include the terminating null. So we must tell it one less than the size
of the destination buffer.
