Subject: [PATCH 4.9 078/125] mac80211_hwsim: Use kstrndup() in place of kasprintf()

From: Tuomas Tynkkynen <tuomas.tynkkynen@....fi>

commit 7ea862048317aa76d0f22334202779a25530980c upstream.

syzbot reports a warning:

precision 33020 too large
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9618 at lib/vsprintf.c:2471 set_precision+0x150/0x180 lib/vsprintf.c:2471

Thus it seems that kasprintf() with "%.*s" format can not be used for
duplicating a string with arbitrary length. Replace it with kstrndup().

Note that later this string is limited to NL80211_WIPHY_NAME_MAXLEN == 64,
but the code is simpler this way.
