[dm-devel] [PATCH 3/4] dm ioctl: Fix compilation warning

In retrieve_status(), when copying the target type name in the
target_type string field of struct dm_target_spec, copy at most
DM_MAX_TYPE_NAME - 1 character to avoid the compilation warning:

warning: ‘__builtin_strncpy’ specified bound 16 equals destination
size [-Wstringop-truncation]

when compiling with W-1.
