if 'bearer' is not NULL terminated, the above will access the first
byte after the TIPC_NLA_BEARER_NAME attribute.

I think it would cleaner and safer using nla_strscpy() instead.

Quickly skimming over the tpic code, most TIPC_NLA_BEARER_NAME access
looks unsafe, and possibly a similar fix should be applied in more
places.
