Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] liquidio: Simplify octeon_download_firmware()

In order to remove the usage of strncat(), write directly at the rigth
place in the 'h->bootcmd' array and check if the output is truncated.

Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

The goal is to potentially remove the strncat() function from the kernel.
Their are only few users and most of them use it wrongly.

This patch is compile tested only.
