FROMGIT: rust: uaccess: add strncpy_from_user



This patch adds a direct wrapper around the C function of the same name.
It's not really intended for direct use by Rust code since
strncpy_from_user has a somewhat unfortunate API where it only
nul-terminates the buffer if there's space for the nul-terminator. This
means that a direct Rust wrapper around it could not return a &CStr
since the buffer may not be a cstring. However, we still add the method
to build more convenient APIs on top of it, which will happen in
subsequent patches.
