[PATCH v2] kconfig: nconf: Fix uncleared lines on help screens

[Shankari Anand]

Commit 1b92b18ec419 ("kconfig: nconf: Ensure null termination where
strncpy is used") introduced a regression where
help screens (F1, F2, F3) no longer properly clear short lines of text,
resulting in duplicated or trailing content when lines are overwritten.

Revert the null-termination change to match
the actual length of the copied string.
