Hi Nick, this patch is wrong.  The 'struct crypto_report_blkcipher' is being
copied to userspace via netlink, so all bytes of it must be initialized.
strncpy() does this but strlcpy() does not.

I noticed that you're sending out some other patches replacing strncpy() with
strlcpy() too.  Can you please double check them for this same bug?

Thanks,

- Eric

Thanks for pointing out this subtlety, I've retracted the other patches.
