4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit df5303a8aa9a0a6934f4cea7427f1edf771f21c2 ]
Using memcpy() from a string that is shorter than the length copied means the destination buffer is being filled with arbitrary data from the kernel rodata segment. Instead, use strncpy() which will fill the trailing bytes with zeros.
This was found with the future CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE feature.
