perf_event: Remove redundant zero fill

The buffer is first zeroed out by memset(). Then strncpy() is
used to fill the content. The strncpy() function also pads the
string till the end of the specified length, which is redundant.
The strncpy() does not ensures that the string will be properly
closed with 0. Use strlcpy() instead.

The semantic match that finds this kind of pattern is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
