We are getting fake gcc warning when we compile with gcc9 (9.1.1):

     CC       jvmti/libjvmti.o
   In file included from /usr/include/string.h:494,
                    from jvmti/libjvmti.c:5:

   cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

First I wanted to disable the check, but now I think the code
could be more straight forward. There's no need to check the
source size, strncpy will do that. We just need to make sure
the string is correctly terminated.
