TIPC bearer-related names including link names must be null-terminated
strings. If a link name which is not null-terminated is passed through
netlink, strstr() and similar functions can cause buffer overrun. This
causes the above issue.

This patch changes the nla_policy for bearer-related names from NLA_STRING
to NLA_NUL_STRING. This resolves the issue by ensuring that only
null-terminated strings are accepted as bearer-related names.

syzbot reported similar uninit-value issue related to bearer names [2]. The
root cause of this issue is that a non-null-terminated bearer name was
passed. This patch also resolved this issue.

Fixes: 7be57fc69184 ("tipc: add link get/dump to new netlink api")
Fixes: 0655f6a8635b ("tipc: add bearer disable/enable to new netlink api")

v2->v3:
- Change the title
- Change the nla_policy for bearer-related names instead of using nla_strscpy()
- Resolve bearer-name related issue too
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231020163415.2445440-1-syoshida@xxxxxxxxxx/

v1->v2:
- Use nla_strscpy()
- Fix similar bugs in other functions other than syzbot reported
