[Intel-wired-lan] [next PATCH S95 09/12] i40e: use correct length for strncpy

From: Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams at intel.com>

Caught by gcc 8. When we provide a length for strncpy, we should not
include the terminating null. So we must tell it one less than the size
of the destination buffer.
