perf dso: Fix unchecked usage of strncpy()

The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback implementation for systems without it.

This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:

In function 'decompress_kmodule',
inlined from 'dso__decompress_kmodule_fd' at util/dso.c:305:9:
util/dso.c:298:3: error: 'strncpy' destination unchanged after copying no bytes [-Werror=stringop-truncation]

     strncpy(pathname, tmpbuf, len);
     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/values.o
    CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/debug.o

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
