Subject: [PATCH] nios2: force the string buffer NULL-terminated

strncpy() does not ensure NULL-termination when the input string
size equals to the destination buffer size COMMAND_LINE_SIZE.
Besides, grep under arch/ with 'boot_command_line' shows
no other arch-specific code uses strncpy() when copying
boot_command_line.

Use strlcpy() instead.

This issue is identified by a Coccinelle script.
