[PATCH] cifs: remove misleading strncpy: each name has length < 16

[Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>]

From: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>

Each of the protocols[i].name strings (statically declared above)
has length less than 16, so this use of strncpy is misleading:
  strncpy(pSMB->DialectsArray+count, protocols[i].name, 16);
Besides, if a new name were added with length N >= 16, the existing
strncpy-using code would be buggy, creating a ->DialectsArray buffer
containing N-16+1 unset bytes where the NUL terminator should have
been.  Instead, traverse the name only once go get its length,
use a BUG_ON assertion to enforce the length restriction
and use memcpy to perform the copy.
