[PATCH 1/6] xfrm_user: fix info leak in copy_to_user_auth()

[Mathias Krause]

copy_to_user_auth() fails to initialize the remainder of alg_name and
therefore discloses up to 54 bytes of heap memory via netlink to
userland.

Use strncpy() instead of strcpy() to fill the trailing bytes of alg_name
with null bytes.
