Calling strncpy with a maximum size argument of 64 bytes on destination
array "domain->name" of size 64 bytes might leave the destination string
unterminated.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID# 1443992:  Memory - illegal accesses
(BUFFER_SIZE_WARNING)

Fixes: 9e2c2e2730126 (drm/etnaviv: add infrastructure to query perf counter)

This introduces an overflow bug if sizeof(dom->name) >
sizeof(domain->name).  If both sizes are the same, then there is no
effect.

strlcpy() would be a better replacement, it guarantees that the
destination will be correctly terminated.

Oops,It seems more worse than original code.

But there are too many strcpy like usage in kernel, Does it matter?
