V4L/DVB (13378): konicawc.c: possible buffer overflow while use strncat

In driver ./drivers/media/video/usbvideo/konicawc.c in line 227:

227         usb_make_path(dev, cam->input_physname, sizeof(cam->input_physname));

After this line we use strncat:

228         strncat(cam->input_physname, "/input0", sizeof(cam->input_physname));

where sizeof(cam->input_physname) returns length of cam->input_phisname
without length for null-symbol.  But this parameter must be - "maximum
numbers of bytes to copy", i.e.:
sizeof(cam->input_physname)-strlen(cam->input_physname)-1.

In this case, after call to usb_make_path the similar drivers use strlcat.

Like in drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c:
1152         usb_make_path(dev, hid->phys, sizeof(hid->phys));
1153         strlcat(hid->phys, "/input", sizeof(hid->phys));

Found by Linux Driver Verification Project.

Use strlcat instead of strncat.
