Before this commit, nla_strlcpy first memseted dst to 0 then wrote src into it. This is inefficient because bytes whom number is less than src length are written twice. This patch solves this issue by first writing src into dst then fill dst with 0's. Note that, in the case where src length is higher than dst, only 0 is written. Otherwise there are as many 0's written to fill dst. For example, if src is "foo\0" and dst is 5 bytes long, the result will be: 1. "fooGG" after memcpy (G means garbage). 2. "foo\0\0" after memset.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
