gcc can warn when a string is too long to fit into the strncpy()
destination buffer, as it is here depending on the function
arguments:
inlined from 'test_hexdump_prepare_test.constprop' at /home/arnd/arm-soc/lib/test_hexdump.c:116:3:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:108:33: error: '__builtin_strncpy' output truncated copying between 0 and 32 bytes from a string of length 32 [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
108 | #define __underlying_strncpy __builtin_strncpy
| ^
include/linux/fortify-string.h:187:16: note: in expansion of macro '__underlying_strncpy'
187 | return __underlying_strncpy(p, q, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The intention here is to copy exactly 'l' bytes without any padding or
NUL-termination, so the most logical change is to use memcpy(), just as
a previous change adapted the other output from strncpy() to memcpy().
