fortify_panic with emulated adapter #976

Description

@dkoreshkov

A fortified Linux kernel does not like this line in LINUX/netmap_linux.c:

strcpy(((void *)attr_kind) + NLA_HDRLEN, qdisc_name);

It says:

Apparently, GCC cannot grok the destination buffer size in that case.
Temporarily fixed by a simple copy loop.
