[PATCH RFC 2/3] powerpc/ps3: refactor strncpy usage attempt 2

This approach tries to use `make_field` inside of `make_first_field`.
This comes with some weird implementation as to get the same result we
need to first subtract `index` from the `make_field` result whilst being
careful with order of operations. We then have to add index back.

The behavior should be the same but would love some comments on this.

Note: I swapped the position of the two methods so as to not have to
forward declare `make_field`. This results in a weird diff here.
