[ Upstream commit cb8ffde5694ae5fffb456eae932aac442aa3a207 ]

Despite a proper NULL-termination after strncpy(..., ..., IFNAMSIZ - 1),
GCC8 still complains about *expected* string truncation:

xsk.c:330:2: error: 'strncpy' output may be truncated copying 15 bytes
from a string of length 15 [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, xsk->ifname, IFNAMSIZ - 1);

This patch gets rid of the issue altogether by using memcpy instead.
There is no performance regression, as strncpy will still copy and fill
all of the bytes anyway.

v1->v2:
- rebase against bpf tree.
