powerpc/papr_scm: Fix buffer overflow issue with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE

With CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled, string functions will also perform
dynamic checks for string size which can panic the kernel, like incase
of overflow detection.

In papr_scm, papr_scm_pmu_check_events function uses stat->stat_id with
string operations, to populate the nvdimm_events_map array. Since
stat_id variable is not NULL terminated, the kernel panics with
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled at boot time.

Below are the logs of kernel panic:

  detected buffer overflow in __fortify_strlen
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kernel BUG at lib/string_helpers.c:980!
  Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]

Fix this issue by using kmemdup_nul() to copy the content of
stat->stat_id directly to the nvdimm_events_map array.

mpe: stat->stat_id comes from the hypervisor, not userspace, so there is
no security exposure.
