[PATCH -next] GRE: Use strlcat() for size checking

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

On m68k, gcc tries to be smart and turns

    strncat(name, "%d", 2);

into a call to strlen() and a 16-bit store, causing a link failure,
as arch/m68k/include/asm/string.h provides strlen() using a macro:

    ERROR: "strlen" [net/ipv4/ip_tunnel.ko] undefined!

Use strlcat() instead to avoid this, which also allows to simplify the
check for buffer overflows.
