[PATCH] selftests/powerpc: Fix strncpy usage

There is a buffer overflow in dscr_inherit_test.c test. In main(), strncpy()'s
third argument is the lengh of the source, not the size of the destination
buffer, which makes strncpy() behaves like strcpy(), causing a buffer overflow
if argv[0] is bigger than LEN_MAX (100).
This patch simply limit the string copy to sizeof(prog) less 1 (space for \0).
