selftests: net: fix "buffer overflow detected" for tap.c

[ Upstream commit 472c5dd6b95c02b3e5d7395acf542150e91165e7 ]

When the selftest 'tap.c' is compiled with '-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3',
the strcpy() in rtattr_add_strsz() is replaced with a checked
version which causes the test to consistently fail when compiled
with toolchains for which this option is enabled by default.

A buffer overflow is detected by the fortified glibc __strcpy_chk()
since the __builtin_object_size() of `RTA_DATA(rta)` is incorrectly
reported as 1, even though there is ample space in its bounding
buffer `req`.

Additionally, given that IFLA_IFNAME also expects a null-terminated
string, callers of rtaddr_add_str{,sz}() could simply use the
rtaddr_add_strsz() variant. (which has been renamed to remove the
trailing `sz`) memset() has been used for this function since it
is unchecked and thus circumvents the issue discussed in the
previous paragraph.
