tipc: fix nl compat regression for link statistics
Fix incorrect use of nla_strlcpy() where the first NLA_HDRLEN bytes of the link name where left out. Making the output of tipc-config -ls look something like: Link statistics: dcast-link 1:data0-1.1.2:data0 1:data0-1.1.3:data0 Also, for the record, the patch that introduce this regression claims "Sending the whole object out can cause a leak". Which isn't very likely as this is a compat layer, where the data we are parsing is generated by us and we know the string to be NULL terminated. But you can of course never be to secure.
