[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] net/tap: fix coverity warning on strncpy

[Keith Wiles]

Calling strncpy with a maximum size argument of 16 bytes on destination
array "ifr.ifr_ifrn.ifrn_name" of size 16 bytes might leave the
destination string unterminated.

v4 - Forgot to finish rebase
v3 - convert strncpy to use snprintf instead.
v2 - fix the checkpatch warning no spaces around '-'
v1 - fix coverity warning on strncpy using invalid length.
