Subject: [PATCH 5.4 18/98] trace: fix potenial dangerous pointer

From: Hui Su <sh_def@....com>

commit fdeb17c70c9ecae655378761accf5a26a55a33cf upstream.

The bdi_dev_name() returns a char [64], and
the __entry->name is a char [32].

It maybe dangerous to TP_printk("%s", __entry->name)
after the strncpy().
