btrfs-progs: simplify ioctl name copy and null termination
In the places where we copy a string into the name member of btrfs_ioctl_vol_args or btrfs_ioctl_vol_args_v2, we use strncopy (to not overflow the name array) and then set the last position to the null character. Howver, in both cases the arrays are defined with: char name[MAX+1]; hence the last array position is name[MAX]. In most cases, we now insert the null at name[MAX-1] which deprives us of one useful character. Even the above isn't consistent through the code, so make some helper code to make it simple, i.e. strncpy_null(dest, src) which automatically does the right thing based on the size of dest. Thanks to Zach Brown for the macro suggestion. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>
