x86-64 strncpy: Properly handle the length parameter [BZ# 29839]
On x32, the size_t parameter may be passed in the lower 32 bits of a
64-bit register with the non-zero upper 32 bits.  The string/memory
functions written in assembly can only use the lower 32 bits of a
64-bit register as length or must clear the upper 32 bits before using
the full 64-bit register for length.

This pach fixes strncpy for x32.  Tested on x86-64 and x32.  On x86-64,
libc.so is the same with and without the fix.
