Smatch reports that copying media_name and if_name to name_parts may
overwrite the destination.

 .../bearer.c:166 bearer_name_validate() error: strcpy() 'media_name' too large for 'name_parts->media_name' (32 vs 16)
 .../bearer.c:167 bearer_name_validate() error: strcpy() 'if_name' too large for 'name_parts->if_name' (1010102 vs 16)

This does seem to be the case so guard against this possibility by using
strscpy() and failing if truncation occurs.

Introduced by commit b97bf3fd8f6a ("[TIPC] Initial merge")

Compile tested only.

I am not marking this as a fix for net as I am not aware of this
actually breaking anything in practice. Thus, at this point I consider
it more of a clean-up than a bug fix.

Changes in v2:
- Correct formatting and typo in subject (Thanks Jakub)
  + The formatting problem was caused by tooling (b4)
    so I reworded the subject as a work-around
- Added Acked-by tag from Jakub
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240731-tipic-overrun-v1-1-32ce5098c3e9@kernel.org

Just to clarify. The formatting issue I was referring, is a double space
in the subject [1], which seems to of occurred due to the subject being
linewrapped and then unlinewrapped. However, in the light of a new day,
it is not at all clear to me that b4 is the cause of the problem.
So sorry for pointing my finger at it.
