Subject: [PATCH v2 bpf-next] libbpf: fix GCC8 warning for strncpy

GCC8 started emitting warning about using strncpy with number of bytes
exactly equal destination size, which is generally unsafe, as can lead
to non-zero terminated string being copied. Use IFNAMSIZ - 1 as number
of bytes to ensure name is always zero-terminated.
