drivers/media/platform/sti/delta/delta-ipc.c: fix read buffer overflow

The single caller passes a string to delta_ipc_open, which copies with a
fixed size larger than the string.  So it copies some random data after
the original string the ro segment.

If the string was at the end of a page it may fault.

Just copy the string with a normal strcpy after clearing the field.

Found by a LTO build (which errors out)
because the compiler inlines the functions and can resolve
the string sizes and triggers the compile time checks in memcpy.

In function `memcpy',
