perf dso: Fix unchecked usage of strncpy()

Browse source 
The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.

This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:

  In function 'decompress_kmodule',
      inlined from 'dso__decompress_kmodule_fd' at util/dso.c:305:9:
  util/dso.c:298:3: error: 'strncpy' destination unchanged after copying no bytes [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
     strncpy(pathname, tmpbuf, len);
