[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] examples/ip_pipeline: fix buffer not null terminated

The destination string may not have a NULL termination if the source's
string is equal to the sizeof(tmgr_port->name).

Using strlcpy in place of strncpy fixes this issue as strlcpy guarantees
NULL termination.

Coverity issue: 272592
Fixes: 25961ff3bcb9 ("examples/ip_pipeline: add traffic manager object")
