Subject: [PATCH] configfs: replace strncpy with memcpy
Git-commit: 1823342a1f2b47a4e6f5667f67cd28ab6bc4d6cd
Patch-mainline: v4.19-rc1
References: bsc#1051510

gcc 8.1.0 complains:

fs/configfs/symlink.c:67:3: warning:
	'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many
	bytes from a string as its length
Fs/configfs/symlink.c: In function 'configfs_get_link':
fs/configfs/symlink.c:63:13: note: length computed here

Using strncpy() is indeed less than perfect since the length of data to
be copied has already been determined with strlen(). Replace strncpy()
with memcpy() to address the warning and optimize the code a little.
