[PATCH] usbvideo: limit the length of string creation

Use strlcat() to append a string to the previously created first part.
The strlcat() function limits the size of the string to the whole
destination buffer.

The semantic match that finds this kind of problem is as follows:

expression dev;
expression phys;
expression str;
expression size;

usb_make_path(dev, phys, size);
- strncat(phys, str, size);
+ strlcat(phys, str, size);
// </smpl>
