Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/2] libbpf: use memcpy instead of strncpy to please GCC

Some versions of GCC are really nit-picky about strncpy() use. Use memcpy(),
as they are pretty much equivalent for the case of fixed length strings.

Fixes: e459f49b4394 ("libbpf: Separate XDP program load with xsk socket creation")
