losetup: Fix null-termination of src string instead of dest after copy
The function loopback_setup(), after copying the loopback device name
with xstrncpy(), ensures the null-termination of the string by forcing
its last byte to 0.
Unfortunately, this operation:
- was probably intended to null-terminate dest instead;
- does not affect the program execution because src is free()d right
after;
- if the size of src is smaller than the offset of the written zero, it
modifies an unknown byte in the heap.
Drop the null-termination line to fix the issue: xstrcpy() automatically
null-terminates dest, or fails if the size of src is bigger than the the
requested number of bytes to copy.
