Subject: [PATCH 03/12] bridge: netfilter: using strlcpy() instead of strncpy()

From: Chen Gang <gang.chen@...anux.com>

'name' has already set all zero when it is defined, so not need let
strncpy() to pad it again.

'name' is a string, better always let is NUL terminated, so use
strlcpy() instead of strncpy().
