V4L: Fix VIDIOCGAP corruption in ivtv

(cherry picked from commit d2b213f7b76f187c4391079c7581d3a08b940133)

Frank Bennett reported that ivtv was causing skype to crash. With help
from one of their developers he showed it was a kernel problem.
VIDIOCGCAP copies a name into a fixed length buffer - ivtv uses names
that are too long and does not truncate them so corrupts a few bytes of
the app data area.

Possibly the names also want trimming but for now this should fix the
corruption case.
