strncpy() truncates the destination buffer if it isn't large enough to
hold the copy. Thus, let's terminate the strings with a NULL character
at the end.

Given that uapi_info->name is not NULL terminated, this change can
incorrectly discard one character.  The correct solution is to increase
the size of info->name to allow for the NULL terminator, which would
automatically be initialised by the memset.

Same here.

And same in patch 3.

Patches 1 and 4 look ok to me.

Cheers,
Kent.
